Young Greens of Canada
The Young Greens of Canada are the youth wing of the Green Party of Canada and were formed at the 2006 leadership convention. The Young Greens of Canada's membership consists of youth aged 14 to 29 years of age. All Green Party of Canada members in good standing, between the ages of 14 and 29, are eligible to vote on Young Greens Council elections every year. The Young Greens have campus clubs and regional clubs established across Canada. The wing works with the Green Party leader, Elizabeth May and MPs. History

The Young Greens of Canada were formed at the 2006 national convention in Ottawa. A constitutional resolution moving that two Youth Co-Chairs seat be created on Federal Council (Section 7.3.13), and the second, a directive resolution moving that a standing committee on youth involvement in the party be created. The standing committee on youth involvement had their first meeting in a packed corner of an Elephant and Castle pub and restaurant; during which it was decided that a Youth Caucus Development Committee (YCDC) would best meet the need of developing an appropriate Constitution, job descriptions for Council positions, and means of electing the members of a Young Greens Council. The first Young Greens Council elections were held for 2007. The Young Greens Council announced a binding constitutional referendum to amend their constitution for the first time on November 26, 2008. Young Greens voted on this constitutional reform online between December 27 and 29, 2008. In the case of a constitutional referendum, approval must be made by 66% of voters for amendments to come into effect. Principles
