From April 11 to June 17, Me to We motivational speaker, author and Free the Children ambassador Spencer West is touring the country for the We Create Change Tour, meeting students and celebrating the work they’ve done to bring the right to education to their peers in developing countries. The tour involves 10 weeks, nine provinces and 90 stops — one of which was Richmond Hill High School on May 5. Over 650 students from 16 schools in York Region gathered to experience the interactive educational event headlined by West, who was joined by MMVA-nominated group Neverest, 11-year-old activist and Richmond Hill native Hannah Alper and special guest Kathleen Wynne, premier of Ontario.
