Canadian New Democrats
Spreading Socialism tour 2007
One of the greatest challenges identified at the Wynyard retreat is the need to engage more youth members in rural Saskatchewan.
In order to reach more young people across the province, the SYND is planning a "Spreading Socialism" tour throughout Saskatchewan this summer. In the coming months, we are hoping to fund raise enough money to pay for transportation and camping fees and plan to visit as many communities as we can across the province.
Constituencies who may be interested in being part of our summer tour are encouraged to contact myself at the number below.
On behalf of the SYND, I would like to thank all Saskatchewan New Democrats for the support and encouragement you have shown. This is shaping up to be a very exciting year!
