Port Moody has been home for over a decade. My two kids went through SD43 from kindergarten to graduation, and I was in the school community right alongside them.
I’ve learned that kids do well when the people teaching them have what they need. Teachers, support staff and families already know what works in the classroom. What they need is a board that listens, plans carefully and puts its resources where they matter most.
Every child in Port Moody deserves a school district that supports them, believes in them and prepares them for what’s ahead. My priorities come from listening to students, families and school staff.
Every learner deserves the resources and support they need to succeed. I want to see SD43 continue investing in the staffing, specialists, and classroom supports that allow teachers to support student learning effectively.
The world students are heading into looks nothing like the one we grew up in. I want to see SD43 expand career and trades programs, strengthen post-secondary and industry partnerships, and help students build practical skills and confidence for their future.
Port Moody families value programs like French Immersion, Montessori, and IB. I'll work with the board to protect the programs of choice we have and expand access so students can access diverse and inclusive learning opportunities.
Every student and our school staff deserve to feel safe walking down the hallway and in their classroom. I'll work with the board to invest in additional counselling supports, staff training, and stronger mental health partnerships so kids get support early and teachers have the tools to manage increasingly complex needs.
Port Moody is growing and our schools need to grow with it. I'll work with the board to plan school capacity early and build strong relationships with the city, developers, and the province so new neighbourhoods bring shared amenities for neighbours and families.
Every dollar in SD43's budget should reach students in the classroom, it's why we are here. I'll work with the board to ask hard questions about spending, keep decisions transparent, advocate for Ministry funding that reflects our needs, and pursue new resources to support a strong and inclusive public education system.
That’s why I’m running for School Trustee. I’ve spent twenty years working and volunteering in this community, and I know how to bring people together and get things done. I want to put that experience to work in our School District – Coquitlam SD43.
"Tracy has been so supportive of my education and helped me think through my career choices after graduation. She truly cares about people, and that's exactly what Port Moody needs."
"Tracy was always there to lend support and take on tasks during the Mossom Creek Hatchery rebuild. She has brought that same enthusiasm to many other volunteer initiatives in our community."
"Tracy and I volunteer together... Tracy is a caring and considerate person who helped me with references for my scholarship applications. I truly believe she will make a great School Trustee."

I am an active community leader who wants the very best for Port Moody, our schools, and most of all our youth.
