Canmore Young Adult Network (CYAN)
The Canmore Young Adult Network (CYAN) aims to create an inclusive Canmore where young adults are given the opportunity to build relationships and play an active role in creating their community. We believe that everyone in the community can play an active role, regardless of their eligibility to vote. In effort to create more active and engaged citizens, we are hosting our third Move Mountains - Candidacy Social on Friday, October 11th 2019.
Move Mountains is an event that is brought to you by young adults, for young adults. This is the chance for us, to get together, listen to live music, and create a platform for our voices. Not only will there be live music from local artists- The Ramblin Hey Ho Ha's , there will also be our local Federal candidates in attendance, ready to share their platform and listen to your questions, comments and concerns.
What does the federal election have to do with you? If you're concerned about climate change, immigration laws, the rising cost of housing and how the federal government will support your health dollars you should come out and speak to your candidates. At this event, you'll get to hear all about the platforms that exist to address these key issues that young adults face today.
Please join CYAN on Friday, October 11th in making this event a huge success. Together, we can and we will show Canmore that our voices are here, that they matter, and that we are ready to MAKE SOME NOISE!
CYAN wants to hear from you!
