A 21st Century Phone-Bank
By Geoff Sharpe on January 26, 2012 · 3 reactionsFor anyone remotely involved in politics, a phone-bank conjures up many different images. Large rooms, packed with landlines; cords snaking every where; numbers desks and that great smell of pizza. Everyone has a great story about a phone call that went well, and another ten that didn't.
Phone-banks have stayed consistent for a long time. Campaigns buy phone-lines, they take days to install and there's always a few lines that never work.
Little has changed.

By Geoff Sharpe on January 22, 2012 · 3 reactionsI wanted to let you know about a milestone for the BC Young Liberals
In two months, over 150 youth from across BC have committed to volunteering. These are people all across our great province who are ready to build a better BC.
But don't take my word for it.
"I've only been here for seven months. Since joining the BCYL I've met cabinet ministers, friends, business people, and had the opportunity to get involved in organizing by-elections. If you want to be involved there is always an opportunity to do so." - Blair Shumlich
"My experience with the BCYL has been fun and rewarding while giving me many great opportunities. I have met many amazing people and feel I am shaping the province in which I live." - Nicole Paul

Rescheduled Blitz and Volunteer Phonebank!
By Geoff Sharpe on January 17, 2012Rescheduled Blitzs
As you may have heard, the BC Liberal blitzs have been rescheduled due to weather. It's supposed to get to -20 degrees in downtown Vancouver! Of course, that's nothing up north.
You can find the rescheduled events clicking here
- The Chilliwack-Hope Blitz will be Saturday, February 4th.
- The Port Moody-Coquitlam Blitz will be Saturday February 18th.
Volunteer Phone Bank
Last night we hosted a volunteer phonebank at the BC Liberal Pary office in downtown Vancouver. It was a huge success. Volunteers manned the phones for three hours and identified new volunteers.
We are looking to do more of these in the future! If you are intersted, just signup on the volunteer page. You'll recieve updates on upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.
BCYL Volunteer Phone Bank
By Blair and Emile - BCYL By-Election Coordinators on January 16, 2012 · 3 reactionsAs you might have heard, the party is going to be holding a big event on January 21st, to door-knock for the upcoming by-eection in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope.
The party will be relying on the BCYL to supply a lot of volunteers, and we don't aim to disappoint. We are planning on having a night where a bunch of us head down to the office in downtown Vancouver and phone supporters who live in the targeted ridings.
BC Liberal Saturday Door-Knocking Blitz
By Geoff Sharpe on January 15, 2012 · 3 reactionsOn Saturday, January 21, BC Liberal volunteers will crowd into Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope to make sure those ridings stay with us in the upcoming by-elections. And BC Young Liberals need to be there, leading the charge.
The Adrian Dix and the John Cummins want these ridings badly – they’re going all in. We have to match their efforts, or better yet, beat them. The only way we can do that is with your help.

More…Welcome to the BC Young Liberals Website
By Geoff Sharpe on January 09, 2012Thanks for stopping by our brand new site. This is a work in progress so please send us any suggestions you might have.
The BCYL is a province-wide organization that engages and supports youth within the BC Liberal Party – a made-in-BC free-enterprise coalition led by Premier Christy Clark.
We host events, provide valuable networking opportunities, and give youth a unique opportunity to engage in the political process. This is done through the BCYL organization, local riding associations and campus clubs throughout the province.
