Think City School Forum Thursday
Vancouver parents and other school community stakeholders have on Thursday evening a last opportunity before the election Saturday to interact with school trustee candidates:
Event
Moderated by Think Schools Conference Chair Annabel Vaughan and Gordon Elementary Building Renewal Committee Chair Z Smith, trustee candidates representing the Coalition of Progressive Electors, the Non-Partisan Association and Vision Vancouver will debate the issues of seismic upgrades, the quality of our children's learning environment, sustainability and the role community plays in our school facilities.
- When: Thursday, Nov. 13, 7:00pm-9:00pm
- Where: Laura Secord Elementary, 2500 Lakewood Ave.
- Childcare: Free childcare provided by Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House
NPA school trustee candidates at a press conference today apologized for not showing up at last week's DPAC sponsored event at Bayview Community School.
Heather Holden, an NPA incumbent parks board trustee now running for school board, said "It was regrettable that nobody was there to represent us", while at the same time claiming their candidate's schedules prevented participation. That's not accurate at all. Thankfully at least NPA incumbent candidate Carol Gibson was honest about the situation today.
A question for Heather Holden: should one vote for a candidate if they can't even be honest about attending a meeting? I should think not.
