Sam Bothner

I am a recent graduate of Kitsilano Secondary School, where I was an actively dedicated student focusing on fostering connection between fellow students and making their time at our school better. I contributed in ways such as;

• Founding and leading a card games club that would give students with nothing to do during lunch time a space to engage with their peers and make friends.

• Being a member, contributor, and donator to the school’s BC Children’s Hospital club that would hold fundraisers to raise money for the Children’s Hospital. I would help set up booths and stands around the school, contribute supplies to make hot chocolate, attend meetings, and donate money very frequently.

• Being a member of the Grad Council where I would plan events for the class of 2024 such as weekly outfit theme activities, recreational skating, dances, game events, and movie screenings. I would also organize and distribute products to students for event fundraising purposes, such as coffee grounds that I would pack and deliver to parents, as well as school hoodies that I would organize and distribute.

I was also a member of the Kitsilano Youth Council for a year starting in September of 2023, where my responsibilities included;

• Collaborating with other members to plan community events for families and children

• Setting up events working with other members

• Attending events, interacting with families while leading recreational activities

• Selling food and crafts product to parents to fundraise for the community centre
