Adam Langlois, FYBY (For Youth By Youth) News, Creative Director

Adam Langlois is a fast-paced adventurer who's been known as "docile yet intense."  He stumbled upon FYBY News by divine appointment and has relished the opportunity to plung in full-bore.  Video, when properly harnessed, is a powerful and stunning medium of communication and expression - one Adam uses in every facet of life.  Questing for truth in a mixed up world, he is quite introspective and likes to provoke thought.  He doesn't talk a lot, but if you give him the chance, brace yourself.

Stuart Buist, FYBY (For Youth By Youth) News, Program Coordinator

Stuart has been involved with CAYFO for six years. He started off volunteering with CAYFO at events like the Spirit of the Capital Awards and the Mayor’s Annual Golf Tournament. Recently Stuart was the Tools 4 School coordinator and is currently the program manager for FYBY. Outside of work Stuart volunteers with the School Supplies Working Committee, Ottawa Youth Friendly Communities Initiative and is on the board of SKETCH Orleans. When not studying at the University of Ottawa for a degree in public administration, he enjoys cooking, watching Food Network, reading, white water kayaking and taking long walks on the beach! His words of wisdom are to get out there and try stuff!
