Meet The Members Of Saskatchewan’s First Provincial Youth Council

Released on October 15, 2019

Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant announced today members of the 2019-20 provincial Youth Council, a group of 12 high school students committed to improving their communities and empowering other young people in the province.

As members of the 2019-20 provincial Youth Council, students will have the opportunity to address meaningful issues directly with the Minister of Education and other government members, while also providing guidance on how to better engage students.

“Students have a critical voice in education and an important role to play in improving the future of our province, and I am looking forward to hearing their valuable feedback,” Wyant said.  “Thank you to the school divisions and education organizations who took the time to submit nominations and support our students in making their voice heard.”

From the 51 nominations received by the Ministry of Education, 12 students were selected following an extensive adjudication and interview process.  Each Council member attends a different school division and brings their own unique perspective, skills and background.  Biographies of all 12 selected council members can be found at https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/education-and-learning/provincial-youth-council.

“I am grateful for this opportunity and I look forward to representing student voice, providing valuable insight on important issues and gaining a better understanding of education from a ministry perspective,” 2019-20 youth council member Jordan Verbeek said.  “I am excited to be a part of impacting future education for students in Saskatchewan.”

The Youth Council’s inaugural meeting will be held on October 19, 2019, where members will have the opportunity to sit down with the Minister of Education and begin discussions around topics of importance to them and their peers.  Any local media interested in contacting Youth Council members are asked to make arrangements through their respective school divisions.
