A new crop of councillors popped up during the most recent municipal election in the fall, and since then, Mathew Dubowski has been working hard to get acquainted with the position. After he was nominated to the role as the youngest member of the council, the 27-year-old has been learning the ropes through a number of council meetings and other events.

Dubowski talked about the experience he's had so far working with the municipal government.
