Luke Power

Luke believes in the power of community and connection, something he learned growing up in Newfoundland. He says, "Newfoundland is such a tight-knit community that whenever someone from home reaches out, we go out of our way to help each other. Moving to a new place can be tough, and made even tougher when you don’t know anyone."
