Episode Details

Vancouver’s city council is stepping up to amplify youth voices in governance, with Councilor Diana Perez pushing for a dedicated youth council to bring fresh perspectives to policy-making. While not yet formalized, the city is already taking action—hosting forums, hiring a new engagement director, and encouraging high school student councils to observe meetings. Young residents like Robert Elkin, who ran for office himself, are sounding the alarm on housing affordability and calling for more inclusive, youth-centered solutions. The goal? Equip young people with leadership skills, deepen civic engagement, and ensure policies reflect the realities of those most affected—before they’re finalized.
