DPAC’s VSB Trustee Candidate Forum

Weren’t able to make it to Charles Tupper Secondary on Thursday night to see, hear and question the candidates? No worries, we’ve got the next best thing …

We recorded the moderated portion with Tracy Sherlock. View it here.
We also sent all 33 candidates a questionnaire. See who responded and what they said here.
Remember, if you’re eligible to vote, please do so on or before October 20.

DPAC Election

We received a nomination from the Trafalgar PAC to elect Gord Lau to the DPAC executive and an electronic ballot has been sent to PACs as part of our election process.
Please contact Shaun Kalley if your PAC did not receive their ballot.
Completed ballots need to be received by 7pm Wednesday, October 10.
We currently have several more openings on our executive. If you are interested, please ask your PAC to nominate you at the next PAC meeting (nomination form). If you’d like to know more about DPAC, please join us at our next Executive meeting on October 11.
