He’ll be representing rural and northern students and will provide insight and a voice from the student perspective in education.

Jeffery says, “I am very excited to take on this opportunity with the Ministry of Education. Being an advocate and change maker for the Ontario education system is an absolute privilege, and one that will provide me with great experience.”
