It's great to see young people getting involved in politics. My fear that the next generation is too apathetic to participate and will drop the ball when it becomes their turn to step up is momentarily relieved. Thanks Paul Hillsdon!
Talking of young people, it's great to watch those who are trying to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
We're referring here to the news that 18-year-old Surrey blogger Paul Hillsdon has decided to run for council in the civic elections in November.
The Grade 12 student believes Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has done a lot of good things for the city -- "but things could always be better."
His platform focuses on the need for greener, more vibrant communities and for better public transit.
He has a big hill to climb, but we wish him well.
