This Monday, May 29th, Islanders will elect their school board trustees. It still appears to be a challenging task to encouarge people to put their name forward to serve on one of the three boards on PEI. In the West only 1 of the 9 zones is offering an election, the others have won by acclamation. In the East 6 of the 11 zones are up for election, 5 have won by acclamation. The French district (6 zones) has 2 of the 9 by acclamation, 1 to be appointed by the Minister and the 6 to be determined by election.

Good luck to all the candidates, especially to David Mitchell, Emile Gallant and Phil Matusiewicz from Stratford. As well, it is great to see some familiar faces stepping forward for the first time, like Gord Noye, and Edna Reid.

Find out who is running in your school district or who has won by acclamation. The Elections PEI website has a great address search form which will tell you who is running and where to vote.

Don’t forget to vote!
