Student Participation and Education

Student Vote
Student Vote believes that one of the best ways to approach this challenge is to reach young Canadians early in life and give them an opportunity to cultivate the habits of informed and engaged citizenship. Young Canadians should graduate high school with the interest, knowledge and skills necessary for effective citizenship. They must know why to vote, how to vote, and most importantly have a strong enough faith and commitment in their democracy that no matter happens, they don't give up on it.
