Moose FM CKLP 103.3 - Parry Sound

A campaign to gain supporters for Justin Trudeau in the federal Liberal leadership race is recruiting people in Parry Sound-Muskoka who are new to politics.  Organizers believe there will be a lot of interest, particularly from young people in the riding.  Greg Black, Riding Captain for the Justin Campaign here, says Trudeau is attracting lots of support across Canada from young people and diverse groups.  He expects the same interest will happen here.  In this leadership race, people can simply register as a Supporter of the Party at no cost, and be able to vote in April.  The local Trudeau team have opened a Twitter account - @PSM4justin.  A Facebook page will be up in the next few days.
