Sprott Alumna Rathika Sitsabaiesan elected Canada’s first Tamil MP
RATHIKA SITSABAIESAN, BCOM/06, thought she would wait until she was 40 to pursue office. The late Jack Layton changed her mind. A few years ago, he told Sitsabaiesan, a keen and active organizer, that she was already doing the work of an MP and encouraged her to run. Canada’s first Tamil MP was elected NDP MP for Scarborough-Rouge River in the last federal election.
