Thank you for connecting with my campaign! I am looking forward to engaging with you and the community during this election and as your School Trustee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Accessibility is being able to get in the building. Diversity is getting invited to the table. Inclusion is having a voice at the table. Belonging is having your voice heard at the table.”

This fall I am seeking my fourth term as your School Trustee on the Board of Education. I believe in North Vancouver’s schools and community more than ever, and I am proud to have been a part of the many initiatives that have improved the District’s ability to offer excellence in public education.

But I also know there is still much work to be accomplished to ensure we offer the very best education for students while fully supporting  teachers and staff.

Advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion has always been a primary focus for me. Even as a child I challenged peers and adults who demonstrated a lack of understanding for those who are different. As your Trustee, I listen to concerns brought forward by  students and staff, and am working diligently to create collaborative and innovative solutions that positively address the issues.

When I first ran for Trustee in 2011 I promised to use my voice to speak up for those who weren’t being heard. During my three terms as Trustee I have brought forth 16 motions that have helped move the District forward to create inclusive vision and policies.

Now I am seeking your further support to allow me to finish the work I started this spring to actively address racism, ableism, and the stigmas surrounding mental health and disability.

Thank you for your vote! I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving the community.

Thank you,
Cyndi Gerlach
