Since 2015, Michael Levitt has served as a Member of Parliament in Canada’s House of Commons, representing the Toronto riding of York-Centre. As an MP, he has worked to represent his riding, one of the most diverse in Canada, as well as serving as a voice for Human Rights on the international stage. In March 2019, he took time from his busy schedule to visit with Crestwood senior social studies students to discuss his life as a parliamentarian, including the behind-the-scenes work that seldom attracts cameras and attention, but is key to the functioning of a vital democracy.
