Prabhnoor Singh, candidate for Winnipeg School Division Trustee in Ward 8, joins host Graham McDonald on Winnipeg Votes 2026 on U Multicultural Channel for an in-depth conversation about the future of education, student well-being, community engagement, and preparing young people for success beyond graduation.
Drawing from his experience as former President of the University of Manitoba Students’ Union, Singh discusses why he believes younger voices should have a stronger role in educational decision-making. He shares his vision for expanded mental health supports, mentorship opportunities, after-school programming, and stronger pathways to post-secondary education.
The conversation also explores Indigenous student supports, services for newcomer families, chronic absenteeism, the impact of artificial intelligence in classrooms, social media policies, and how school boards can better include student voices in decisions that directly affect them.
Singh speaks candidly about growing up in a South Asian family, overcoming mental health stigma, immigrating to Canada, and becoming a first-generation university student. He argues that every student deserves access to guidance, support, and opportunities that help them see a positive future for themselves.
