"I really think knowledge is power. It doesn't matter whether you like to get it from newspapers or the Internet or just from conversations with everyday people. If you want to make an impact, your most reliable tool is a strong base of facts and a familiarity with all sorts of opinions."

"Democracy is what you make of it, and it's about having a voice for what you feel is really important. All young people should be aware that they have equal rights and the democratic right to voice their needs."

"I like that we can talk to our members of Parliament. As a constituent, I can contact my MP if an issue is bothering me. You never know, maybe they will put forward a private member's bill and my voice will be heard in the House of Commons."

Canada's Democracy Week

Canada's Democracy Week is September 16-23, 2013.

Over the last two years, Canadians have defined and discovered their democracy in new and exciting ways. This year's theme is "connect". Connect with the people and organizations that embody Canada's democratic values.

We invite you to think of ways you can celebrate democracy this September by taking action. Reach out to people in your community who are making a difference. Learn how you can contribute, make your voice heard or find out more about our political parties.

Let's connect with our democracy and celebrate together!

What's New

We are excited to announce this year's winners of the National Youth Challenge. We asked youth from across Canada "What are you doing for your democracy?", and the response was fantastic. See the winners and runners-up here.

What does democracy mean to you?
