Youth Council

Nicolas - Mayor

Hello! I’m Nicolas, and I’m in 12th grade at École Voyageur. Throughout my four years with CLYC, I’ve been able to meet incredible people and organizations, and get a deeper understanding of the way our city works. Additionally, CLYC has let me share my love for chess with others through our chess club, work on awesome initiatives with other leaders, and as Mayor, improve my leadership and communication skills. Outside of CLYC and chess, I’m passionate about piano and musical creation, skiing, francophone culture and trying my best to learn Spanish.
