Landon Sanderson (He/Him) is a 16-year-old advocate residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Treaty 1 territory. He has been involved with a wealth of initiatives on a global, international, and local scale, stemming from conversations surrounding international relations, Indigenous rights, human rights, 2SLGBTQ+ liberation, and now children’s rights!
Landon is looking forward to his role on the Children First Youth Advisory Council because he believes that youth deserve a seat at the table when it comes to topics that concern them. He believes that young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today, and he will continue to fight for the perspectives and experiences of youth to be valued and considered in the aspect of important decisions.
In his free time, he enjoys participating in musical theatre productions, hanging out with his family and friends, and getting involved with his community. Landon cannot wait to begin catalyzing change and making a positive impact with his fellow Youth Advisory Council members!
