UofC Liberals sign up 150 young liberals

Liberalism is alive and well in Calgary. As of September 21st the University of Calgary Liberal Association signed up 148 young Liberals from the annual week long clubs week held by the Students’ Union. The membership now counts more than 170 with renewed members, in addition to several new federal Liberal memberships sold and renewed interest in the Liberal party.

Membership renewal this year has also shattered previous records, having almost eight times as many memberships sign up compared to years past. The facebook page, started on the 20th, has just overcome the local Conservative association’s facebook page (that’s been up for a year) at some 79 likes.
