I met with BC’s Minister of Ed & Child Care, Lisa Beare, during the BCSTA Academy. A few days later, as Chair, we had a meeting where I advocated for 11 key priorities that reflect our district’s urgent capital needs & systemic funding requirements.📚 #sd23ed #sd23ed #sd23learns

Great to tour George Pringle Secondary with Premier David Eby. This future-focused school for 1,200 students features geothermal heating, an Indigenous gathering space, and beautiful lake views—an exciting investment in our growing community.

On International Women’s Day, I’m grateful for the incredible women who shape our families and communities. As a wife, mother, friend, & School Trustee, I see the strength, compassion, & leadership of women every day. Today we celebrate their achievements and the future ahead. 💜

Amazing rendition of A Christmas Carol with OKM’s Triple Threat Theatre Company! The clever production, rich moral themes & set in a Victorian world, made for an authentic period experience. Kudos to Ryan Grenier, the cast, crew, & everyone involved — it’s a must-see. Bravo! 👏🎭
