Hello, my name is Lise Paxton and I am the Student Government Coordinator and iCan Lead Student Leadership Team Advisor here at Canadore.

I truly enjoy working alongside our students and watching them flourish in their roles as student leaders, as they create positive change within the campus and our community.

It is incumbent upon each of us as global citizens to help protect our planet and I am a firm believer that one small change can create a ripple effect. If we each do our part in terms of responsible consumption and helping divert waste from our landfills, we can all be positive change leaders.
