President’s Update

Dear Ontario Young Liberals, 

It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as your President, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to help grow and foster the youth movement of the Ontario Liberal Party.

When I assumed this role, we were already faced with the difficult situation of reacting to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Measures including restrictions surrounding the holding of OYL Riding and Campus Club AGMs, alongside AGMs for Provincial Liberal Associations (PLAs) and the Ontario Women’s Liberal Commission, were in place for a considerable stretch of time as the party worked to adjust to the new reality.  

Thankfully, we were able to resume Student Club AGMs in the Spring of 2021, and we, as an executive, got straight to work to ensure our clubs were supported as they elected new executives under new circumstances. Since the reinstitution of Student Club AGMs, 11 campus clubs have held Annual General Meetings. 

As a new executive is elected, I suggest to them that they work with the Executive Council of the OLP to also reinstate virtual Riding Club AGMs so that we can continue to support PLAs at the local level.

While the challenges that we faced were considerable, and the unprecedented length of term resulted in significant turnover within the Executive, I am happy with what we were able to accomplish as we faced unprecedented challenges. 

Thank you once again, and I look forward to seeing everything the new executive accomplishes as they work to defeat Doug Ford in the next election.

Sincerely, 

Francesca Cesario

President

Treasurer’s Update

Dear Ontario Young Liberals,

As I conclude my term as Treasurer, I wanted to provide an update on the organization’s finances and say thank you for the opportunity to serve Young Liberals across Ontario. 

In traditional years, the majority of the organization’s expenses are incurred because of in-person events, such Summer Fling and campus recruitment. However, because of COVID-19 and the uncertainty it caused, we elected to not use our budget to ensure the OYL remained financially healthy as it remained unclear how the pandemic would unfold. The only items we continued to expense were those critical to our organizational infrastructure, such as web-related costs and Mailchimp. 

I am happy to say that the OYL is in a strong financial position for when the next executive takes over, and I look forward to seeing a strong spring recruitment ahead of next year’s provincial election. 

Sincerely, 

Aqsa Naveed

Treasurer

Ready to Lead

Over 2 million people under the age of 30 will be eligible to vote in the next election, creating a seismic shift in Ontario politics. The Ontario Liberal Party is working to be a part of that change by nominating 30 candidates under the age of 30 ahead of the 2022 election. As Ontario Younge Liberals, we are proud to see Steven Del Duca taking strong leadership on ensuring more young people enter politics.

FREE Memberships!

We hope everyone is holding up well during the ongoing public health crisis.

This week is an exciting one in the Ontario Liberal Party’s long history. Our leader, Steven Del Duca, and Executive Council voted to make membership free, starting July 1, 2020.

Financial barriers are being torn down to make membership more inclusive and accessible, because it’s your party.

Engaging Young Liberals is crucial to the Ontario Liberal Party’s success in 2022. Campaigns across the province will depend on Young Liberals just like you to get out the vote and take back Ontario.

OYL campus and riding clubs will be able to recruit new members more easily, and high school students without credit or debit cards will be able to join the party on their own. To be frank, this is a game-changer, and we could not be more proud of our new leader and Executive Council for getting it done!
