2023 Fall Students' Council Election

My name is Lawrence Andrews, Law for short. I am a 2-spirit Cree-Métis from Treaty 8 territory.

This is my third term at Norquest College. When I first saw the opportunity to represent FBET through Student Council, I thought it would be a great opportunity to grow, learn, and promote equality for all here at Norquest.

Personally, I believe we can achieve all our individual goals with Norquest. I would like to see more community involvement and more exciting events for all Norquest Students & Alumni. In the short while that I’ve been here, I already know that I have the support and help from SANQC, Miyo-pimâtisiwin Centre (the Indigenous Student Center), and all my new friends, the only way I know how to give back is to show my own support and help, and to hopefully watch everyone I’ve met so far achieve their educational goals.

I want to thank my friends for the nominations that brought me this far, and I also wish to take time to mention that The Core has some very excellent beaded lanyards available to purchase, which in turn supports the Miyo-Pimâtisiwin Centre.
