This next member absolute blew us all away with her interview! When she walked out of the room we were all flipping through the page to find out what grade she was in, to our disbelief she wasn’t in Grade 12.

Now, our Chair! Miss Rylee-Grace Wood. Rylee is a Grade 12 student from Holy Rosary High School. She is an incredibly passionate ball player. She loves sports, family and staying true to herself. She is welcoming, fun, kind and confident. Last year when we were able to meet again the Youth Council had a short period of time to pull off some massive goals. Rylee believes in herself and the power of youth and even when things look hard, she doesn’t back down. Not only did she contribute a great day to each event planned last year but she showed such leadership, it is no doubt she was voted in as CHAIR!

The power in which Mr Turner Harnett speaks and presents himself definitely impressed us in his interview.
