Wake Up Call

At the Van Dyk House in Terrace

I've arrived in Terrace!

I'm hanging out at the Van Dyk House with Donny Van Dyk, Vice President of the BC Young Liberals and his brother Evan, waiting for the rest of the BCYL crew to arrive around noon. Once everyone's here we're going to head up to Prince Rupert to drop over 1500 flyers there this afternoon!

This evening, we're attending a Dinner in honour of Bill Belsey who was the BC Liberal MLA for the North Coast riding from 2001-2005. Bill is moving out of town later this month so his friends and supporters are hosting a dinner for him tonight. It should be a great event!

I'll post another update when the rest of the group arrives at the Van Dyk House. For now, here are some photos from this morning:

BCYL Set to Blitz the North!

Two weeks ago, the BC Young Liberals kicked of the Road to Victory Tour with an incredibly successful weekend road trip through the Interior with stops in Kamloops, Williams Lake and Quesnel. Over three days, 14 BCYL members dropped 2300 flyers promoting the BC Liberal message and re-energized local party supporters with their enthusiasm and determination.

This weekend, I will be joining a dozen other members of the BCYL for the second leg of the Road to Victory Tour featuring stops in Terrace and Prince Rupert.

As the tour unfolds, we will be posting live updates at www.roadtovictory.ca!

You can share in the excitement of the tour and track our progress by checking the web site regularly throughout the weekend for new messages, pictures and video clips from the trip!

I hope you will join me and the rest of the BCYL on the "Road to Victory" by visiting the Road to Victory Tour Blog throughout the weekend at www.roadtovictory.ca!

Pictures taken "On the Road" in Kamloops, Williams Lake and Quesnel

New Tour Dates Confirmed

The BCYL's blitz through the Interior this past weekend was a huge success and a great kick-off to the Road to Victory Tour! Members of the BC Young Liberals visited Kamloops, Williams Lake and Quesnel, delivering flyers to residents of each community promoting the BC Liberal Party and meeting with local supporters at each stop.

Along the way, BCYL members shared their experiences by posting messages, photos and video clips online at: www.roadtovictory.ca. This new and innovative web site received over 300 hits during the weekend!

The results were fantastic! Over 2300 flyers were dropped over 2-days and ridings were left re-energized, excited and ready to win in 2009.

The team of BCYL members that kicked off the tour worked hard and put forward an excellent example of the power that volunteers and youth have to make a difference.

This morning, I am thrilled to announce 4 more tour dates have been confirmed, to build upon this successful weekend:

1. Terrace (August 11, 2007)
2. Prince Rupert (August 11-12, 2007)
3. Coquitlam (September 9, 2007)
4. North Vancouver (September 23, 2007)

I look forward to seeing you on the "Road to Victory"!

Cheers,

Chris

On the Road...to Victory!

Yesterday:

We began our trip on Friday with 3 teams from Vancouver and another team from Fort St. James. We arrived in Kamloops at roughly 6:30 PM to meet up and get ready for the day ahead.

Today:

We had breakfast with local supporters at 8:30 AM and then began our drop in Kamloops, focusing on 3 areas that are key to winning the 2009 election. At 2:00, we drove to Cariboo and got some pictures in front of the "Welcome to Cariboo Sign". Then, we made the long trek to Williams Lake arriving at 5:00 PM and took some pictures in front of the Welcome to Williams Lake Sign.

Right now, we're out on the streets of Williams Lake delivering flyers to every single house in the area and later tonight we're attending a BBQ with local BC Liberal supporters.

More updates coming soon!

BCYL Launches "Road to Victory Tour"



Today, the BC Young Liberals are launching the "Road to Victory Tour" with a weekend road trip through the Interior with stops in Kamloops, Williams Lake and Quesnel.

Starting today, and continuing up to the 2009 election, members of the BC Young Liberals will travel all over the province visiting communities across British Columbia to spread the BC Liberal message and spark the energy and excitement that will pave the road to victory in the next election.

The "Road to Victory Tour" is driven by volunteer members of the BCYL who are committed to supporting the BC Liberal Party and ready to start working today to ensure a BC Liberal victory in 2009.

The BCYL "Road to Victory" Blog, located at roadtovictory.ca is a way for these members to share their experiences as they participate in the tour.

Every time the BCYL's "Road to Victory Tour" visits a part of British Columbia to drop flyers, knock on doors and meet with local party members, participants will share their experiences online by posting messages, photos and video clips.

These posts will be made as the tour happens so that visitors can follow along and share in the exciting experience.

For more information on the "Road to Victory Tour" and to stay up-to-date on the BCYL's trip through the Interior, as it happens, make sure to visit roadtovictory.ca often!

I hope you will join me and the rest of the BCYL on the "Road to Victory" by visiting the "Road to Victory Tour" Blog at roadtovictory.ca!
