His political involvement began as a teenager in high school and continued throughout his university years, having been a former President of the Young Liberals of Canada (British Columbia) as well as holding executive posts with the Liberal Party of Canada in BC. He holds a B.Comm. degree from the University of Victoria and a LL.B. from University of British Columbia.
Young Liberals
As a former President of the Young Liberals in BC, Erik Bornman helped build that organisation to eventually become one of the strongest voices in the Liberal Party of Canada. Though there have often been competing views and competing personalities as is apt to occur in the political sphere, one thing is certain: Bornman worked hard to ensure young liberals had their voices heard loud and clear and helped build the organisation into the political force it is today.
As an advocate of the "University Model Parliament", in 1999 Bornman commented to Simon Fraser University's student newspaper:
" offers students the opportunity to gain a better understanding of their political affiliations." By interacting with students from their own and other parties, it allows them to gain a clearer picture of Canada's current political arena. He also said that the experience offers him a chance to "get (my) fix as a political junkie."
As a young person, Bornman helped build Pilothouse Public Affairs into a strong government relations firm.
