Let me be your Port Moody representative for SD43 School Trustee.

Port Moody has been my home for over a decade, part of more than 23 years in the Tri-Cities. As a parent and community builder, I know good outcomes come from careful planning, collaboration, and genuinely listening to people. Our school community deserves this same care.

This October I’m running for Port Moody School Trustee because I want the best for kids and youth in our K-12 public school system. With two decades of experience working in non-profit and community, I bring a thoughtful and informed voice that will work on behalf of Port Moody and the students in SD43.

Key priorities for SD43

Every child in Port Moody deserves a school district that supports them, believes in them, and prepares them for what’s ahead. My priorities are shaped by knowing that good decisions come from working together.

As your trustee, I want to bring a collaborative and informed approach to the school board table. That means supporting every student, protecting and expanding the programs of choice, and preparing them for a rapidly changing world.

I’m also committed to planning for Port Moody’s growth through genuine collaboration with our community, and to bettering our public school system by always advocating for dollars to reach students and classrooms first.

Every learner deserves the resources and support they need to succeed. Some students need extra support to keep up, others need to be challenged to keep growing, and many need varying support along the way. I want to see SD43 continue investing in the staffing, specialists, and classroom supports that allow teachers to effectively support student learning.

This means paying close attention to how resources are distributed across our schools and ensuring students have access to learning resources, programs of choice, and the specialized supports they need.

I’m committed to strengthening the Indigenous Education Department, supporting Indigenous student success and ensuring every learner has the appropriate resources and opportunities.

I also want to protect and grow options in our district like French Immersion, Mandarin Bilingual, Montessori, iHub, and our gifted programs, so families have choices in how their child learns. Beyond that, I’d like to explore new programs of choice, including expanding SD43’s outdoor education beyond grade 10’s COAST program so more students can benefit earlier in their school years from connections with nature.

Every student deserves to learn in a calm, safe classroom. SD43, along with other districts around the province, continue to see a rise in violent incidents both in the classroom and in the school community, including incidents directed at the teachers and Education Assistants (EAs) working directly with students. Some schools have started building calm rooms, mindfulness spaces, and providing de-escalation training for staff, but SD43 has identified that these efforts are uneven across the district.

As your trustee, I’ll work with the board to invest in what keeps kids and classrooms safe. This includes funded, consistent training for teachers and EAs, and adequate staffing so students in crisis have the right interventions. I’ll also push to strengthen the district’s partnerships with community mental health agencies and other partners so students get the supports they need consistently and early on.

Children learn best when they feel safe and the adults who care for them deserve that same safety. Safer schools mean a richer learning experience for all students.

The world students are heading into looks nothing like the one most of us grew up in. Technology, careers, and skills that matter in the workplace are shifting quickly, and school programs need to keep pace.

Students need access to real experience and practical skills alongside their academic learning. I want to see SD43 expand career and trades programs through direct partnerships with post-secondary institutions and industry associations, paired with modern and practical STEM learning. Early exposure to career pathways will help students build the skills and confidence they need for a changing job market.

I want SD43 to be a district that looks ahead and ensures students leave school ready for what comes next.

Port Moody is growing and our schools need to grow with the community. As new neighbourhoods like Inlet Centre and Moody Centre take shape, planning for future school capacity must start early and alongside municipal development. It can’t wait until families have already moved in.

Too often, opportunities to build shared benefit into new developments get missed simply because the right conversations didn’t happen early enough. This includes joint-use agreements for gyms and fields, shared child care spaces, or co-located community amenities that serve both students and neighbourhoods. We are missing opportunities to bring more amenities to our community, and I want to make sure these discussions are a priority.

This only works if the school district and its trustees have a good working relationships with the community and opportunities to collaborate early on with Municipal leaders, developers, and the provincial government. I am committed to keeping these conversations open and productive for our community.

One of the main responsibilities of our school trustees is ensuring every dollar in our school district budget is well spent towards students in the classroom. This requires the school board to ask hard questions about where money is allocated and why. Families and taxpayers deserve to understand how choices get made and know they are made with the best interest of student learning experience in mind.

Good fiscal management is about more than just balancing a budget. It’s about ensuring we fund the things that matter like strong programs, well-supported teachers, and the diverse student supports children need to succeed.

As school trustee, I am committed to transparency throughout the decision-making process and will always advocate for dollars to reach students and classrooms first.

Promoting Student Safety and Wellbeing

When people say “school safety,” they might think of lockdown drills and visitor sign-in sheets. I’m glad we have those systems, but they only cover one kind of risk. One that’s important to me is whether a student feels safe in their everyday interactions from using the washroom between classes to being excluded or harassed by peers.

It’s also not only about what happens between students. When an educator or support worker is threatened or assaulted at school, the kids in that classroom feel it too, even when they aren’t directly involved.

The data suggests we’re losing ground in these areas of safety and wellbeing and it’s one of the reasons I have highlighted it as a priority in our schools.

New provincial vaping rules welcome: advocate

A Port Moody mom who has been advocating for tougher vaping regulations says the province is doing the right thing by boosting taxes on vape products, curtailing marketing to youth and involving young people in anti-vaping programs.

Tracy Green says nicotine addiction among youth is a growing health concern because vape products are so appealing to young people and it’s easy to get hooked.

What does a school trustee actually do?

It’s one of the most important jobs on your ballot this October, and often one of the least understood.

A school trustee is a locally elected representative who sits on the Board of Education for School District 43. SD43 is the district managing Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, and Belcarra public education.

The board has nine trustees in total, and two of those seats are held by Port Moody candidates. Every four years, trustees are elected the same day as your municipal council, this year on October 17, 2026.
