What are two things you want to accomplish as a councillor this year?

As I have outlined in a previous post and my town hall address, I'd like to focus on working with the academic and sustainability commissions. The two things I'd like to accomplish each correspond with one of those two commissions. Firstly, at the academic commission, one of my main goals would be to create a professional network to provide students with an opportunity to advance their careers, build their CVs, create vital connections in important places, and more. This could be accomplished by contacting the professionals who already host workshops at Vic hosted by the commission and working with them to create more extensive programs. Secondly, at the sustainability commission, I would like to organize several bus trips throughout the year to protests in more remote areas. Many have protested in downtown Toronto, but being able to spread a message across different regions in Ontario and perhaps even broader, perhaps to sites of unethical climate issues and climate injustice, can be all the more powerful and has a greater potential to aid us in the fight against climate change.
