As the Secretary of UR POLIS, Brylee is passionate about her studies and aims to one day run for elected office at either the municipal or provincial level or write policies for either level of government. She is a fifth-generation farmer from a mixed grain and cattle operation in Fiske, Saskatchewan. Her background in agriculture brings a rural perspective to the table, a critical aspect in Saskatchewan politics that is often overlooked.
When she isn’t hitting the books, you can find Brylee curling, dancing, playing rugby or participating in a variety of campus activities. She also likes to check out events such as concerts and museums around Regina. Her friendly energy makes her a great representative for the PAIS department, connecting with students across departments and often pitching the benefits of campus involvement!
She enjoyed PSCI 220: Comparing Political Systems, labeling it her favourite PAIS course so far. Her advice to fellow PAIS students is to attend different UR POLIS and PAIS Department events as it allows you to connect with fellow students on a personal level outside of classes.
Her favourite UR POLIS event was the Curling Bonspiel which may or may not be a little biased. She encourages everyone to attend even if it is to only cheer people on. It’s an event that’s fun for everyone!
