High school can be a busy time for teenagers, but one Grade 12 student at Western Canada High School wanted to make a difference in her community.
Wynne Leong, 17, founded The Love Cycle Charity after speaking with peers who shared her desire to volunteer and give back.
The charity now has more than 25 members aged 12 to 18 from five Calgary schools, including students in different grades.
