Faith in Youth
January 8, 2025
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.
