ý/You.n2 Progressive Conservative group has started up in Halton By RICHARD VIVIAN The Champion The Tories have found new support in I-lton with the establishsment of the Young Progressive Conservative (YPC) group. "l'm confident that wc can have a voice in our riding and that we could make changes happen in the future," YPC presi- dent Rob Demnille told The Champion. "We just want to get the word out there to other youth and explain to them what the PC party stands for. We'd like their help in the next election to re elect (Halton MPP) Ted Chudleigh." Meeting for the first time August 3 1, the group of 15 young people - a dozen of whom are from Milton - set out their con- stitution and elected Mr. Demnille as their president. Members can range in age from 1410o 35 years. With the association stili in its infancy, its most immediate goal is to increase its memhership. Ultimately, Mr. Demnille said, they want to have one member in every grade in every high school ini Halton. "ýRight now, in tise achool structure they (young people) don't really have anywhere lo go if they have an interest in politics," hie continued. "Student govemrments are more mun hy the teachers and not really anything stu- dents do by themnselves. Our association lets themi have a voice and talk about things that they want to, change." Mr. Chudleigh attended the group's inau- gural meeting 10 show his enthusiaam for the new PC support group. Start-up fund- Photo by GRAHAM PAINE MPP Ted Chudleigh visita th.
