3) York University Young Liberal Leadership Conference

On Sunday, March 21st, the York University Young Liberals hosted a day-long conference featuring over 20 MPs and Liberal leaders (including Toronto Centre MP Bob Rae). The conference provided youth with sessions based on fundraising, diversity, campaigning, and conflict management. TCYL past-president Chris Drew gave a fantastic presentation on policy development – you can check out Chris’ Powerpoint presentation on the TCYL website here:
