iCanLead Student Leadership Team

Alex Mathew

Hello everyone, my name is Alex Mathew. I am pursuing a diploma in Avionics Maintenance at Canadore College and I am President of Canadore Students’ Council. Being President is a big responsibility to understand and work with your fellow mates. iCan Lead has helped me to be a good leader and enhance the essential qualities that a leader should have. I feel that it is an amazing platform for students to learn the qualities that a leader should have.

Ishmael Van Der Rassel

My name is Ish (Ishmael Van Der Rassel). I am a first-year student at Canadore College and I am studying Office Administration. I have many years of involvement within the community, such as serving as the Youth Representative on the North Bay Métis Council, where I had the responsibility of engaging Métis youth within the region, on who Métis people are and the history of the culture.

I have also had the pleasure of working as a communications assistant on a local project committee, that involved the creation of the first ever Métis time capsule to preserve the Métis culture, and history for future generations to come.

I look forward to getting involved within the Canadore community, and being part of a dynamic team in the iCanLead Team.
