AURORA, ONTARIO – From May 15-19th, 2010, Annie Wang, 18, of Aurora, Ontario and ninety-nine other young Canadians will meet in Ottawa to represent their regions at the National Youth Ambassador Caucus. The Caucus is being hosted in conjunction with the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario. At the Caucus the youth will meet with Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, and other government, business and community.
Annie’s role at the National Youth Ambassador Caucus will be to represent her region, while addressing Summit issues such as Maternal Health, Food Security, and Nuclear Proliferation. The youth will put their negotiation and leadership skills to the test, as only 26 youth Ambassadors (two from each province and territory) will be selected to participate in the Summits in June 2010.
Aurora is a combination of natural reservations, agricultural plans, booming commercial areas and residential neighbourhoods. Likewise, Annie is very proud to be representing such a diverse neighbourhood and believes that she is also a combination of different extremes: a classical musician, a philanthropist, and a keen business student.
As one of the young Ontario delegates at the Caucus, Annie is passionate about being a global change-maker and is currently a first year Commerce student at Queen’s University. She is a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and is heavily involved in various extracurricular initiatives in the community and at her school such as the Certificate in Corporate Social Responsibility (CCSR), Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), and Queen’s Symphony Orchestra to name a few.
Junior Team Canada, and MY SUMMIT 2010 are administered by Global Vision, a national non-profit organization that was founded in 1990 by Terry Clifford. The programs provides Canadian youth, ages 16-25, with the skills, experience and knowledge necessary to become the new generation of global leaders. Junior Team Canada has led missions to over 20 countries, with the most recent being to Malaysia in February 2010.
