Testimonials

Inthuja S, age 17

Arthur was an amazing mentor with great ideas for our Toronto-based youth group promoting active transportation. His concern for the environment was transferred to us through the engaging discussions he facilitated. Above all he undertook organizing the International Walk 21 conference youth forum this past year in Toronto with us. Our youth forum was a huge success with over 150 student turnout. This was largely due to Arthur’s strong organizational skills, creativity and energy. I am certain that Arthur will make a positive difference, as he has already done so in our community.
