Faith in Youth

Message from Terry

Young Canadians are a positive influence to our community and our nation. As someone who was first elected as a City Councillor at the age of 18, it was a unique opportunity to show the positive impact that young leaders can have while giving young people a voice at the table. That is why we are committed to ensuring that young Canadians have the tools they need to build a successful and fulfilling life for themselves.

In our office, we encourage young people to engage actively with their communities, run for election, and make meaningful contributions, and not be deterred by others. Learn more about my management philosophy in running office, and my trust in young talents in a recent interview with TwinTalk. Highlights here:
