Who we are:

The Young Greens of Canada are part of a new and growing green movement that is establishing a comprehensive replacement of the old party politics. This green political movement is not only a critique of the old parties and the old ways of politicking—it is a effective and progressive activism. It is a commitment to living within our means and giving thought to the future of our world. As Greens, we recognize the interconnectedness of ecological and social issues and are especially calling for the inclusion of those who are excluded by the old politics—aboriginal peoples, women, and the poor. We are calling on all young Canadians to act locally and think globally by demanding local and democratic control over economic and political resources.

Our party is bringing about a new way of living sustainably and a new way of doing politics. We have a comprehensive policy agenda built upon the common values of the global green movement: ecological wisdom, social justice, participatory democracy, non-violence, sustainability, and respect for diversity. For example, we demand a halt to all oil and gas subsidies, a cap on greenhouse gas emissions, and the creation of a mandatory carbon emissions registry and reduction strategy to encourage clean energy alternatives. We seek to introduce legislation that would ensure Canadian companies apply the same environmental, employment, and social standards in their foreign operations as they do in Canada. We call for the reduction of tuition fees across the country, as well as the creation of needs-based grants. We promote fair economic relationships, human rights, and sustainability because we believe that, unlike an increased use of military force, these initiatives will lead to greater global security.

The Young Greens are growing quickly across Canada as young people become engaged and involved in this progressive movement. We invite you to join us in finding a new way of living and a new way of doing politics.

We are the youth wing of the Green Party of Canada (GPC) and are comprised of GPC members who are under the age of 30. Members of the Young Greens are involved in university and college campus groups, city-wide youth groups, and local Green Party organizations. Young Greens are committed to positive politics and effective political activism.

The Young Greens promote the core principles of green politics, help young Canadians become more active and effective within the GPC, and network Green campus and city-wide clubs.
