Simon Strelchik was the federal New Democratic Party candidate in the Canadian riding of Thornhill in the 2006 federal election.
Over the total in the 2004 election, the NDP vote total increased 25%, to 4405 votes, behind Liberal incumbent Susan Kadis and Conservative challenger Anthony Reale.
A resident of Thornhill for almost 20 years, Strelchik is a founding member of Free the Children, now the largest youth-led organization in the world, with over one million participants in 45 countries.
He is also a past chair of the York Region Health Services Youth Advisory Board, and past member of Vaughan Council's Youth Advisory Committee. He was an organizer of the "Truth About Youth" conference and the "Smoke This..." conference, and the executive director of Youth Fighting Tobacco. Strelchik was the chief organizer of the 30 Hour Famine at his local school for three years, raising money for impoverished children. He was an original member of the York Region No-smoking Bylaw Task Force, which crafted the law governing tobacco smoking in Thornhill and surrounding communities, and he was vice-chair of its education sub-committee.
Strelchik also sought public office in 2000 and 2005 to represent Thornhill as a Ward 4 trustee on the York Region District School Board.
He has been president of the Thornhill NDP riding association since 2001, and is a past campaign manager. He volunteers regularly as an assistant for developmentally disabled children in York Region.
Strelchik has been an active member of the Ontario New Democratic Youth, and an unsuccessful candidate for provincial executive of the Ontario New Democratic Party.
