Post #89: Celebrating National Volunteer Week

On May 1, I was recognized by Magna International Inc. and Neighborhood Network in honour of National Volunteer Week for my efforts and commitment towards my school and local community. In this lovely ceremony, I heard stories of volunteerism from other graduating high school students across Aurora, Georgina, King Township, Newmarket, and Whitchurch-Stouffville, and I am so humbled to stand alongside them as recipients of the 2025 Give Back Awards.

Post #80: 3rd Annual Community BBQ

On Sunday, September 29th, 2024 I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer with the Central York Leadership Group at MPP Dawn Gallagher Murphy’s 3rd Community BBQ. The event had a great turnout of around 500 people, and I made some invaluable connections with community leaders. I had the chance to connect with Premier Doug Ford; MPP Dawn Gallagher Murphy; Deputy Mayor Tom Vegh; and Jacob Gal, Director of Operations at York Pride!
