More committed advocates needed
In recent times, Canada has lost some truly remarkable advocates—people who dedicated their lives to fighting for justice, equality, and positive change. These individuals were committed, unwavering, and unafraid to push boundaries. They stood on the front lines, ensuring that the voices of the marginalized were heard, policies were challenged, and progress was made.
But now, with their absence, a gap has been left in our society. We need to ask ourselves: Who will step up? Who will carry on their mission? The answer lies in the younger generations, but inspiring them to take on the mantle of advocacy is no simple task.
The Challenges of Advocacy
Advocacy is not for the faint of heart. It requires courage, resilience, and an unyielding commitment to change. Advocates face opposition, setbacks, and sometimes even personal sacrifice. Yet, they persist because they believe in something greater than themselves—a vision for a better, more just world.
Today’s youth are passionate, informed, and eager to make a difference. However, they need guidance, mentorship, and encouragement to transform their passion into action.
How Can We Inspire Tomorrow’s Advocates?
1.
Educate and Empower – Schools and communities must integrate advocacy training into education. Young people should be taught the history of activism, the power of civic engagement, and the impact of speaking up for what is right.
Looking Forward
The loss of our dedicated advocates is deeply felt, but their legacy does not have to end with them. If we invest in our youth, nurture their passion, and equip them with the tools they need, we can cultivate a new generation of changemakers who will push for progress just as fiercely as those before them.
Now is the time to encourage, support, and uplift the advocates of tomorrow. The fight for justice and equality is ongoing, and more advocates are needed—now more than ever.
I’d like to leave you with this for your consideration.

The setting is an urban environment, with a diverse group of individuals showing determination and commitment. The atmosphere is dynamic, with a sense of urgency and purpose. The color scheme conveys energy and motivation, reinforcing the need for more committed advocates.

The red and white flags, featuring the maple leaf emblem, stand out against the warm hues of orange and yellow in the background. Silhouettes of the individuals create a sense of unity and celebration, suggesting a patriotic gathering or national event. The positioning of the flags and the reaching hands add movement and energy to the scene.
