Long Driveways!


My feet hurt from the long driveways and never ending roads! The short driveways took me 1min 14 seconds (Courtney timed me).
 
Happy to be home and in a warm bed!

Finally Home!!

We started our day in Quesnel having breakfast with the Cariboo North Riding association. What we thought was going to be a beautiful day turned out to be a long cold day in Quesnel. With tempatures of -9 the sun shining, we had no idea what was comming for us.
 
We split into groups of three and were each assigned a poll. We dropped about 1300 flyers, some groups a little bit more sucessful than others. Kevin and I do not want to do flyer drops in Quesnel West ANYMORE, we once again got the side of town with overly LARGE lots and SUPER long driveways!! We were walking down dirt roads about 1km long, w/o any houses, Good thing Courtney and Kevin's legs are so long that they walk SO fast. We were not very sucessful. Karl, Bryan (Taylor) and James on the other hand were overly sucuessful in the downtown Quesnel area with Carmen, Caleb, and Nick meeting up coving over 800 houses themselves. Kristina, Annie, and Ciaran managed to drop about 250 flyers in their first assigned poll!!! GOOD WORK EVERYONE (except maybe our group, but the looong walk was kinda nice).
 
All said and done, we had a great time!! Thanks for the Pizza Chales! Thanks for joining us Cariboo!! and Thanks for EVERYONE's support.
 
See you in VICTORIA!!!

Omg my feet

The last of the flyers have been dropped!  700 in East Maple Ridge and another 1500 in Pitt Meadows – Maple Ridge. 

Grand total for the weekend: 5300. 

This number impresses me to say the least; especially considering we only had 6 youth come out.   I’d like to thank all that came out:  Gareth Smart, Raz Nacu, Adeeb Khan, Jeremy Ingoldby, and Peter Ker.  You guys are what makes this organization great.

I’d like to thank the Abbotsford riding associations for taking us out to dinner Friday Night and volunteering their time to come drop flyers and drive us around on Saturday. 

I’d like to thank the Mission – Maple Ridge riding association for volunteering their time to drive and drop on both Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, and also for taking us out to dinner on Saturday night.

I’d like to thank the Pitt Meadows – Maple Ridge riding association for volunteering their time to drive and drop on Sunday afternoon and for taking us out to lunch on Saturday.

 

Lastly, I’d like to thank my legs and feet for not giving out on me during the 11 hours of walking.

Been finding a surprising amount of these around

Mission Impossible

Mission accomplished with another 1600 flyers.

Danger Will Robinson

Nothing says good afternoon like a burning van. No one injured, lots of commotion.

Tis a beautiful day in the neighbourhood

Since Mission's on a hillside, theres some wonderful views.

Abbotsford done!

Approx 1500 flyers dropped in Abbotsford. Mission here we come!

And they're OFF

This morning 6 enthusiastic Young Lib erals set off on the first flier drop of this Road to Victory tour. Abbotsford is the next town to be hit with the Liberal message. Spirits are high, and we are confident that LOTS of fliers will be dropped.

Hotel party

A night in abbotsford

The best western is great as always. Due to drops we mostly have two beds each.... one for the first hours of sleep and one for the rest.

Fraser Valley is underway!

We've hit the pub with Mike de Jong and John van Dongen. Despite some cancellations everyone is in high spirits. Abbotsford will feel the might of the BC Young Liberals! And we will drink all their booze!
