Madeline Carter, representing St. Joseph’s Catholic High School shared her experiences, knowledge, and opportunities she received during her term as Student Mayor. She commented that the experience has helped her recognize the importance of elected officials and the role they play in shaping the City, the opportunity to engage face-to-face with members of the Council, and a tour of the Barrie Police Service Headquarters that strengthened her gratitude towards all first responders.
Madeline thanked members of the Council for making this opportunity for youth like herself and her fellow Student Mayor Yukon possible.
Yukan Kirupa, representing Warnica Public School, thanked members of the Council and staff for the opportunity to be inside the past few meetings and for the experiences in learning about the City's welfare. He commented on his fascination with how things get signed off and put into action.
