“ I am passionate about seeking out solutions and opportunities to address our climate and poverty crises. The beauty of our ward having three councillors is that I can keep on being an advocate for my youth peers if trusted to be one of your local representatives. Young people are scared for our future, and we also have immediate issues that are stopping us from securing our futures like prior generations. Addressing these issues will help improve everyone’s lives. Everyone knows how difficult housing and the cost of living are to navigate nowadays, and no one knows this better than young people newly entering our careers. Our council should play a larger local, everyday role in addressing these issues as well as an advocacy role that strives to represent our neighbourhood's interests and tries to influence state and federal governments. By voting [1] Lazaras Panayiotou for Northfield, you will be helping secure a new generation of community advocates who care for people and the planet. ”
