Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee approved

LEAMINGTON — Fourteen local youth have been appointed to the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee in Leamington.

Normally, only 12 spots are available, but the response was so good that administration suggested that council accept all fourteen applicants.

The Municipality of Leamington’s Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee is an advisory committee that provides a structured opportunity for youth to voice their opinion in Leamington by providing a two-way channel for communication with Council on important recreational and social issues concerning the Municipality’s youth population.

The Committee also organizes events for the youth of Leamington throughout the year in order to encourage community involvement including volunteering.

All three Leamington-based high schools are represented, as per the criteria.

As a result of the unanimous council vote, congratulations go out to Raylene Schartner from UMEI, Krystal Robinson, Youssef Alkhaled, Eshal Tariq, Madelyn Unger, Morgan Robinson, Ewan Wilson, Isabel Unger, Lucas Clement, Jovan Wilson and Noor Abbas from LDSS, along with Tatianna Amaya, Ximena Biron Ren, and Massimo Maiuri from Cardinal Carter.
