North Vancouver Elections 2014 – North Van City Council Candidates

The communities of tomorrow will be shaped by the children we are raising and educating today.
I am a parent, educator and active community member with a diverse and comprehensive background in public education. I hold a Masters degree in Education and my professional experiences include 20 years of teaching, working as a liaison between schools and community partners, and training teachers and administrators in learning strategies. I have a solid grasp of the complexities of public education and can understand the workings of school districts from multiple perspectives.

In short, I know learning, but more than that, I know and understand the critical role a strong and thoughtful board of trustees can play in the lives of our children. I support initiatives that target increased green space and opportunities for play and exercise in our schools, safe, healthy and environmentally responsible schools, seismic upgrades for all vulnerable buildings, and access to the arts and sports for ALL students.
If elected, I will put our children and their learning and safety at the center of every decision I make and will stay true to a vision of unlimited possibilities for all learners in the schools of North Vancouver.
