Magel Labelle aspires to make a positive impact in his family and community and accomplishes this through dedication to his education and community involvement. His journey started during his primary school years. Magel was involved with Child and Family Services from a young age and has used that experience to become a strong role model for his siblings and those around him. Being the oldest, he has always worked hard to show his siblings and those younger than him how hard work, dedication, and resiliency can have a positive impact on their community.

School has always been a core value for Magel. By pursuing higher education, he knows that he will have access to more opportunities and more choices. He believes that through his passion for music he can create a better world where all people can connect and thrive. Even so Magel continues his Business Administration degree, majoring in marketing and media management.

Sports have also been a community for Magel growing up. He has created friendships, family and support throughout his youth in sports.

The Alex Youth Health Center is an incredible resource for Magel. It’s here that he is gaining knowledge through Elders' teachings, prayers, smudging, and much more about his culture and traditions. His goal is to share what he has learned.

Magel credits some important learning to his family. His great grandmother teaches him his language, and his grandmother has always been a mother to him, which is why he calls her Ena (which means Mother in his language). Magel’s lived experience, and not always having a mother figure in his life, has made him resilient and dedicated to making others, and his mother, proud. He has gained a great deal of insight into how youth today can be the change, and he wishes to encourage others to pursue their dreams and goals as well. Through working hard he hopes that he can inspire others to do the same.
