Jenny Yang, CCSF Scholar 2021, was a flag bearer on behalf of Canada at the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on the 14th of March.

“It was an honour to have been Canada’s flag bearer at the Commonwealth Service this year, especially in the year of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. It was also incredible to see representation from every country in the Commonwealth, meet all the other flag bearers, and spend the day celebrating diversity and connectivity.”  – Jenny Yang
