Your Trustees
µ÷½ÌÉ«Ç鯬, like every school board in Ontario, is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees are elected by separate school taxpayers every four years during municipal elections and are directly accountable to the community. As the democratically elected representatives of the Catholic community, Trustees serve as stewards, advocates, political and servant leaders. The current seven Trustees will serve from November 15, 2022, to November 14, 2026.
