Hi, I’m Jordan Armstrong, I’m from Bloodvein, Manitoba but I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I’m currently a third-year student at the University of Manitoba. I was raised by a single mother who has dedicated her life to the social services sector, and I picked up on many of her values, I’d like to continue in her footsteps as an advocate for Indigenous Youth who haven’t had the same opportunities as I have. I have sat on the youth business panel for the Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce where we have discussed how we can involve indigenous youth in the business sector more effectively, I was also recently a part of the Climate Change Health Adaptation Program Panel with the goal of tackling climate change, increasing capacity and overall quality of life within Canada’s reserves. I’m excited to be a part of the conversation with ICA’s Youth Leadership Council.
