She and the council meet with senior government officials and federal agencies once a month to discuss issues of importance to them, their community and country. From Aug. 29 to 31, Ahmed and the council gathered for their first in-person meeting since the pandemic began. At this meeting, which took place in Ottawa, the council met with its Chair, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Vice-Chair and Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, Marci Ien, as well as other ministers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cServing on the council allows me to bridge youth issues and my opinions to a national table that shapes the future of our country. Having this access has also really motivated me to do more outreach,\u201d says Ahmed. \u201cI have been able to voice my perspectives on the issues closest to me, including mental health and Islamophobia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2022\/10\/HaleemaAhmed_PMCouncil_Twitter_2-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2022\/10\/HaleemaAhmed_PMCouncil_Twitter_2-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2022\/10\/HaleemaAhmed_PMCouncil_Twitter_2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2022\/10\/HaleemaAhmed_PMCouncil_Twitter_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with Haleema Ahmed<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahmed joined the council in July 2021 as part of its fifth cohort \u2013 just as she was preparing to begin her studies at York as a biomedical sciences student that fall. The cohort began meeting virtually every month with agencies like the Public Health Agency of Canada, Elections Canada, Health Canada and the Federal Anti-Racism Secretariat, bringing their perspectives and stories to the table to shape policies. During their August 2022 meeting, the council discussed issues ranging from pharmacare to mental health to reconciliation for Indigenous peoples. Ahmed also spoke to the prime minister about Islamophobia and the need for federal action on Bill 21 in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always insightful to hear from the other council members, who live in different parts of Canada and have unique experiences and perspectives that I may not have considered before,\u201d says Ahmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She began her studies at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ on a York Science Scholar Award, a $10,000 entrance scholarship that includes a paid summer research position after the completion of first year.
