I made a commitment in the election to establish a Constituency Youth Council (CYC) if I was elected. This is a non-partisan youth leadership initiative where members can discuss federal issues directly with their M.P. and other youth from across the riding. After one year of a successful council, I am looking for new members to join those from this past year.

The deadline to apply is June 17, 2021. In order to apply you must meet the following requirements:

• Be a resident of Kings–Hants between the ages of 14-25 as of January 1, 2021;
• Be committed to attending a meeting at least 5 times per year through virtual calls, or with access to transportation to make meetings within Kings–Hants.

To apply simply email [email protected] with the subject “Kings–Hants CYC Application” and include the following information:

• Your name, address, and date of birth;
• Your high school/university/workplace;
• One reference letter and their contact information.

For the independent selection committee please answer and attach the following questions to the email (no more than 250 words per answer).

1. Why are you interested in being a member of the Kings–Hants CYC and what do you hope to accomplish as a member of the Council?
2. What do you see as the most important issues and or opportunities in Kings–Hants?
3. What are your preferred areas of interest as they relate to federal jurisdiction (i.e. national defence, agriculture, environment etc.), and why?
4. What extra-curricular or community activities are you involved in? How does this experience make you well suited to serve as a Council member?

The CYC will allow 16 young people to gain an appreciation for public policy and to explore important issues in their communities. 8 members will be selected for a 1-year term, while 8 members will be asked to serve for a 2-year term, this will allow 8 new individuals to serve on the CYC later. The selection of youth members will be made by an independent selection committee comprised of individuals from across Kings–Hants.

If you have any questions please ask Kody via email at [email protected] or call +1 (902) 542-4010.
