Some of Our Recent Work
Current project
Green Development Standards
This is our chance to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Mississauga!
The City of Mississauga is revising their rules for new buildings (their ‘’Green Development Standards’’, or GDS. We have been working with a dynamic group of volunteers, engaging their community in their efforts to ensure those rules are as rigorous, ambitious, and clear as they need to be to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Mississauga.
After two years of hard-work from our amazing volunteer team alongside our brilliant leadership team leads, this project is in its final stages. The Mississauga council will be voting soon!
Past Project
Youth Perspectives Survey Project
New Majority led a nationwide effort to survey young people and understand their priorities and key issues.
The data from this survey will be used to help us determine what issues our organization will be prioritizing in the future and to better advocate for our New Majority demographic.
We were able to have 300,000+ face to face conversations with youth across Canada.
Past project
Manitoba Provincial Election 2023
We were on the ground in Manitoba for the 2023 Provincial Election to get Gen Z & Millennials excited about voting!
Young voters were ready to destroy the myth that young people don’t vote and our canvassing team personally walked 516 young voters directly to polling stations, during this Manitoba sprint.
We continue strengthening democratic action by encouraging participation from first-time voters during provincial elections and as we witnessed in Manitoba, these human connections allowed our intersectional teams to cut through the noise and connect directly with youth who aren’t typically engaged in the democratic process.
