knowing that its emphasis on youth empowerment meshes well with his positive message.
The presentation is tailored to the needs of the participating schools. Topics covered include drug and alcohol awareness,
peer pressure, driving safety, bullying, goal setting, and more recently emotional well-being.
Co-operators insurance advisor Wes Zacharuk understands the impact Mitch will have on students
in local schools. "As a rock star and a very charismatic individual, Mitch is just the type of person who can get through to
teenagers and make a real difference in their lives," stated Zacharuk. "That's why I'm thrilled to help bring Mitch to
Carleton Place."
