Access Ottawa Student Testimonials – 2008

I thought politics in school was boring until I came here and found I actually was interested and might find a job here. Also the friendships you make.

– Kiersten Anquist ( Abbotsford, BC )

Access Ottawa gave me a greater appreciation for the work done by the Members of Parliament. It has also showed me that Christians can make a huge difference in government.

- Sarah Gryschuk (Oakville, ON)

Gets me excited to pursue politics and the LLC for the future. Deeper understanding of the relationship between faith and politics.

-Joshua Brown (Abbotsford, BC)

I learned how stuck I was in my school's/church's world. I didn't realize that my entire life was based on them...well, not anymore. Not since AO. Loved it, wish I could come again next year.

– Elizabeth Ellchuk ( Winnipeg, MB)

I didn't like politics before this, but Access Ottawa has opened my eyes to so many career options and opportunities that I had never thought about before.
