It’s Oldies Future Leaders Day on 107.7, a presentation of Desjardins Insurance Arnprior.
Nic Edge has juggled a number of possibilities while contemplating the future- none of which involve treading water. At age 18 the local resident became the area trustee for the Renfrew County School Board, after serving as a student trustee for the same institution.
Nic believes societal members in the older demographics don’t have a clear handle on the mental health challenges facing today’s youth who are frequently subjects of misperception and negative stereotyping.
He credits one particular teacher, Angie McCrae, for guiding him on the right path by encouraging Edge’s involvement on Student Council at Arnprior District High School. While he has not formally declared his candidacy, the Lakehead University student says his next political goal is to seek election to Arnprior Town Council in this autumn’s municipal election.
Oldies 107.7 spoke with Edge as his studies in Thunder Bay were winding down.
