The New YCL in Canada
Unsuccessful attempts to reorganize the YCL happened in 1994 and 2000. A youth group called the "Red Star Youth Collective" was formed in Toronto, but soon renamed itself Young Left and split with the Party.
In fall of 2003 a conference in Vancouver was held which formed a Young Communist League Preparatory Committee. When interest was expressed by youth across the country, the YCL expanded to Ontario. In 2004-2005, the YCL was among many groups, including Young Left, who organized a delegation to the 16th World Youth Festival in Caracas.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:
“I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.”
