Meet Alex, a third-year Environmental Studies student at the University of Waterloo. Passionate about urban development and sustainability, Alex often engages in discussions about the impact of governance on cities. Growing up in a politically active family, they have developed strong opinions on public policy, although they prefer to avoid partisan media like Fox News to form their views independently. Balancing studies with part-time work at a local non-profit, Alex aims to create positive change in urban planning.
