I had the great pleasure of serving as the board mentor for our student trustees. Trustee Al-Delaimi and Trustee Hou have shown incredible leadership, insight, advocacy and have represented their peers brilliantly. Thank you for the honour of working alongside you.

Have your say in your child’s education!
Very grateful for all who provided insights re: 23-‘24 #ocdsb budget. Despite being severely underfunded by the gov’t, I believe the board and staff did the best with what we were given. I am so encouraged by the strong advocacy of our OCDSB caregivers and parents, THANK YOU!
The OCDSB already allocates much more funding to our spec ed programs than what is enveloped to us by the gov’t & we are being tasked with decisions that no board should have to make. I have talked to trustees province wide and we are all facing the same issues. MORE FUNDING NOW!

The @QTSRCommunity is hosting their annual Garage Sale tomorrow, 8am- noon! I really enjoyed this one last year and you can't beat the forecast. Let's stay in #collegeward with the downtown streets all closed and meet our neighbours! #shoplocal #CircularEconomy
School visits are the some of the best highlights of serving as your trustee. I am always so inspired after these visits and extra THANKFUL for all of the AMAZING staff and students here at the @OCDSB ❤️

Had a wonderful time at @SirGuyKnights sports day today! Seeing students getting to reconnect and cooperate while playing was the best. The passion, care and love that our educators and support staff envelop our students in every SINGLE day is SO heartwarming. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It was such a joy to join the "Artistic Voices" artists & the City View/Ryan Farm CA for the launch of their beautiful new mural at the Nepean Museum. This lovely artwork, painted by young members of the community, will bring so much joy and inspiration for years to come.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ( DEI) is not anti white. DEI addresses structural inequities in education & schooling that harm children such as curriculum that is grounded in Eurocentric knowledge only. It is not against anyone individual despite how some white people feel
I’ve talked to thousands of people in #KanataCarleton and I hear you loud and clear: You need better health care. Your kids need more support at school. You want greenspace protected. Vote NDP tomorrow and I will fight to make things better for everyone. #TeamCoenraad #ONpoli

The Liberals want you to believe they’re the only ones who can beat the Conservatives in #KanataCarleton. But that’s not true. The NDP has huge momentum and enormous support in this riding—and we CAN make change happen tomorrow! #TeamCoenraad #ONpoli
