Grade 10 civics students at Haliburton Highlands Secondary School heard firsthand where a life studying politics can take you.
On Jan. 18, approximately 60 students spilled into the Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion to engage in an interactive presentation through a webcam feed with Dr. Peter Loewen, an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto. Apart from his teaching profession, Loewen was one of the creators of www.votecompass.ca, a website aimed at educating citizens on party politics and their political views through a questionnaire.
