On Saturday, November 24th, I met with the 2018/2019 London North Centre Youth Council for its inaugural meeting. I always enjoy the opportunity to listen to young leaders. Their foci for this year: climate change, innovation, Canada’s role in the world, mental health and policies to further improve the lives of Canadian women.
