Hey YRDSB! 🤍

My name is Kathy He and I'm so honoured to be your Minister of Student Outreach for YRPC this year! Currently, I'm a 12th grade student at Pierre Elliot Trudeau High School and I look forward to meeting you all.

My main enjoyment throughout these years has been social networking and meeting new people. Throughout my love for music (I may have more than 230k minutes on Spotify) I have explored multiple genres and songs. Although my extracurricular activities have the tendency to fill up my schedule, I adore spending quality time with my friends and family! Also, if you need someone to rant to about Ferrari's strategies in F1, I'm definitely the person to come to. (🆑16)

With my position of Student Outreach, I look forward to working with all 130,000 of you. No matter where you are, you can count on me to respond almost immediately! I hope to make myself completely transparent and welcoming to you! My goal is to connect the bridge between students and their voices, and I hope I can be able to draw YOU in!

No matter what you need, nothing is too trivial. You can reach me at on Instagram!

Hey everyone! My name is Emily Han and I'm your Minister of Administrative Affairs this year (I know, it's a mouthful 😅).

I am a grade 10 pre-IB student at Milliken Mill High School and I am so excited to get to know you all this year! Some things about me are that I like to read, watch Netflix, listen to music, and discover new interests and hobbies! You will often find me jamming to an oldies vinyl record when studying for a test, or lip syncing to Taylor Swift songs when I should be doing my homework 🤫.

I am so thrilled to have an opportunity to work alongside the YRPC as your Minister of Administrative Affairs! Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram or at [email protected] to give any feedback, address any concerns, or just to chat!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you all! (And perhaps seeing some of you at the General Assemblies that are now in person!)

Hey YRDSB! My name is Jamie Weinstein and I am so excited to represent you this year as Minister of Skill Development!! I can not wait to get to know you ❤️

I am a grade 11 student at Westmount Collegiate Institute who loves playing sports, spending time with my friends and family, going shopping and of course watching Netflix (Grey’s Anatomy on repeat)💃🏼I love meeting new people and I am very enthusiastic about advocating for others.

I can not wait to hype up YRPC events 🥳

You can reach me: on ig and .weinstein on snap!
