Cam has a wide variety of professional and lived experience that has helped to not only inform his work but mould his experience and unique perspective. For the past 15 years, Cam has used that experience to stand up for his community, neighbours, and clients.
He spent nine years working on Parliament Hill, working for three different Members of Parliament.
