Grade 11 · Chesley, Ontario

Hi, I'm Ruby Meyers.
I lead, I listen,
I keep exploring.

I'm a student leader, community volunteer, and lifelong learner who likes finding out how things work — in student government, in my town, and in myself. This is where I keep track of the people, places, and projects shaping that.

About me

Still figuring out my direction — and enjoying the process

I care a lot about people feeling heard, whether that's in a student council meeting, a hallway conversation, or a pool deck during a swim lesson. I like leadership that's less about being in charge and more about making sure the right people are in the room.

Outside of that, I'm curious in a fairly scattered way — I'll go from reading about public policy to writing something creative to trying a new sport. I haven't landed on one fixed path yet, and I like that I still get to explore.

Leadership & community

Two roles, two different kinds of responsibility

Both are about the same school community, but they ask different things of me — one is about student voice and process, the other about wellbeing and belonging.

Student Council President
Walkerton District Community School · 2026–2027

Leading student council means representing student voices to staff and administration, and making sure council actually reflects what students want — not just what's easiest to organize.

  • Representing the student body in decisions that affect them
  • Organizing and supporting student-led initiatives and events
  • Chairing meetings and coordinating the council team
  • Building communication between students and staff
Wellness & Inclusivity Club President
Walkerton District Community School

This role is about the tone of the school day-to-day — making sure students feel supported and that the school feels welcoming to people who might otherwise feel on the outside of things.

  • Planning initiatives around student wellness and mental health
  • Creating programming that helps students feel included
  • Leading a team and coordinating club events
  • Advocating for a more welcoming school culture
2026–2027 Term

Chesley Agricultural Society Ambassador

I'm so excited to share that I was honoured to be named the 2026–2027 Chesley Agricultural Society Ambassador! It was announced at the Chesley Fall Fair, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to start the role.

That weekend, I helped give out prize ribbons at the horse shows Saturday morning, took part in line dancing alongside the Junior Ambassador, and spent time at the petting zoo with all the animals — just a few of the highlights from such a fun weekend.

A very special thank you to my sponsor, Cookies by Design & Cupcake by Design, for their generous support in helping make this opportunity possible.

What this role means to me

I'm incredibly grateful to the Chesley Agricultural Society for giving me this opportunity and trusting me to represent the Society and our community throughout the coming year.

I'm looking forward to getting involved in our community events, meeting new people, and making lots of great memories along the way — I can't wait to see everyone at the many events throughout the year!

My interests

What I spend my time exploring

Government & public service

Democracy, public policy, and getting young people involved — sharpened by attending the Forum for Young Canadians National Summit in Ottawa. It's one of several fields I'm exploring, alongside AI and healthcare.

Leadership & student voice

Student Council, the Wellness & Inclusivity Club, and figuring out what it means to represent other people well.

Community & volunteering

Showing up consistently — volunteer hours add up, but it's the relationships built along the way that stick.

Aquatics & lifeguarding

Working as a lifeguard and swim instructor — a role that runs on responsibility, calm under pressure, and clear communication.

Creativity & writing

Storytelling, drama, and writing as ways to process ideas and put words to things I care about.

Academics & learning

Science, physics, and French pull me in different directions — I like that university keeps a lot of doors open.

Sports & outdoors

Basketball on a team, swimming on my own time, and kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding whenever the water cooperates.

Lifeguarding & Swim InstructionCertified lifeguard & instructor

Water safety, teaching, and staying calm and clear under pressure — skills that carry over into everything else I do.

Looking ahead

What I'm still figuring out

Government, public service, political science, and economics all pull at me — but so do things that seem further afield, like artificial intelligence and healthcare. I'm not trying to force those interests into one lane; I'd rather stay curious across all of them than pick early.

Between student council, the Ag Society, and everything else, I'm learning what kind of leader I want to be before I decide exactly where to point that — and right now, that means staying open to more than one direction at once.
