The Ontario New Democratic Youth (ONDY) is the youth wing of the Ontario New Democratic Party which is in turn affiliated with the federal New Democratic Party. Any party member, aged 25 or under is automatically a member of ONDY and is eligible to attend and vote in the youth wing's yearly convention, known as ONDYCON.
Structure[]
ONDY members are grouped into clubs designated to represent one of 4 things: a riding, a school campus, a labour group, or a region. These clubs organize various events and act as the local chapters of ONDY. At the provincial level, ONDY is run by its executive, which are elected to one year terms by the Ontario New Democratic Youth's entire membership at its yearly convention. The executive must adhere to the rules of gender parity and is headed by two Co-Chairs.[1]
