Authorized by the Official Agent for Ellen Young
Ellen Young, born and raised in Winnipeg, is a lifelong resident of Concordia. As the first Canadian born of Chinese immigrants, she grew up to be a natural leader and role model within her family and in the community.
Ellen is a University of Manitoba student who has worked tirelessly for her community. Passionate about children and education, she volunteers at an after school tutoring program in Winnipeg's North End. She has also volunteered at the Concordia Hospital and Concordia Senior's Home.
In October of 2009, Ellen travelled to Ottawa as a participant in Power Shift, the largest Canadian youth conference in history, to express her belief that Government is failing to address climate change. In addition to her service for Power Shift, Ellen has worked with Manitoba Eco-Network, the University of Manitoba Campus Greens, Amnesty International, Rainbow Pride Mosaic and University of Manitoba Students Union.
Ellen is an energetic voice, committed to the needs of Concordia's residents. She will demand that more can be done to support the families and single parents who are raising children in Concordia, to improve health care services within the riding, and to increase funding for schools and public transportation.
"I am committed to the people of Concordia, have been all my life, and will work hard to have the opportunity to represent them. I hope to inspire the people of Concordia -- young and old alike -- to make changes for better government and better lives." declared Ms. Young.
