Privilege comes with responsibility, says Trudeau

Privilege comes with responsibility, says Trudeau: "rudeau will talk about good fortune, volunteerism and responsibility when he gives his first official speech in Victoria this weekend, at a dinner celebrating the Victoria Foundation's 70th anniversary and growth to $70 million in funds. While here, he will also talk to high school children involved in the foundation's Youth in Philanthropy program.

The 34-year-old, who is taking his master's degree in environmental geography at McGill University, launched a speaking career in January, and uses the podium to highlight his two favourite themes: Inspiring young people and protecting the environment. He is also past chair and executive board member of Katimavik, which was founded in 1977 to allow Canadian youth to travel around the country and get involved in community projects."
