2014 Winnipeg Civic Election

Why did you decide to run in the 2014 School Board Election?

I enjoy being a School Trustee. I take great pride in contributing to help build our children's educational foundations. I find Trusteeship challenging, productive and personally rewarding.

What experience will you bring to compliment your role as School Trustee?

I bring a wealth of experience to the table. I can contribute a great deal to the school boards deliberations. Common sense decision making. I have dealt with many issues as a Trustee and have learned from my experiences.

What are some issues that you would like to stand for in your role as School Trustee, and why are these issues important to you?

Continue to reinforce numeracy and literacy particularly in K - 3. I also believe a discussion needs to take place with the Provincial Government to further enhance measurable Manitoba Standards in numeracy and literacy. I believe it is crucial to build a solid educational foundation for future development.

What is one thing in particular that you appreciate about the school ward or school division you wish to represent?

The school Division is only as strong as its staff. We are fortunate in St. James - Assiniboia to have a committed group of people dedicated to our students needs. I am a strong believer in letting people do their jobs. I believe together your School Board and Staff can meet any challenge.

Do you have any other comments regarding your candidacy?

I would continue to serve always focusing on best interests of students first and foremost.
