Liz Sandals, Minister of Education, is pleased to announce that Waterloo Collegiate Institute student Victoria Yang has been appointed to her Student Advisory Council. Out of all of the applicants in Ontario, only 63 students were chosen for this prestigious honour. Throughout the course of a year Victoria will have the chance to attend council meetings, participate in student forums, events and conferences and share her voice on student related issues. During this experience Victoria will strengthen her leadership skills and provide student recommendations and advice on Ministry of Education Policies and programs. This hands on experience will provide Victoria with training in strategic planning, government policy and communications. We hope that Victoria takes these skills back to her school and helps promote leadership in her community. We congratulate Victoria on this honour and wish her success in the future.
