At its Inaugural Board Meeting on November 15, Trustees were officially sworn in as members of the Kenora Catholic District School Board (KCDSB).

As part of the meeting, the KCDSB held elections for the position of chair and vice chair of the Board and appointed representatives on the Statutory Committees of the Board.

Teresa Gallik was acclaimed as chair of the Board, while Paul Landry was acclaimed as vice chair.

In opening remarks, Trustee Gallik said, "Welcome to our newest Trustees, Angela Bishop, Derek Favreau, Lorne Temple and Marie Lundin. I am also happy to be with our returning Trustees, Paul Landry and Jeffrey White. I am humbled and honoured to once again be entrusted with the precious gift of Catholic Education. Thank you for this. I look forward to working collaboratively with our director Nicole Kurtz and staff to further strengthen Catholic education. Focusing on student well-being, achievement, and success. The 2023 Catholic Education week theme, "we are many, we are one," to me means taking the time to walk alongside one another, to listen and to learn and to respect each other as we move forward together."

All the trustees were acclaimed in the municipal elections last month.

New trustees include Marie Lundin, Lorne Temple, and Derek Favreau from Kenora and Angela Bishop, representing Red Lake. Jeffrey White will continue on as the Indigenous Trustee and Paul Landry and Teresa Gallik are returning.

Teresa Gallik has been a Kenora Catholic Trustee since 2003, and Paul Landry started with the Board in 1985.

Marie Lundin was appointed to the Special Education Advisory Committee. Lorne Temple and Paul Landry were appointed to the Internal Audit Committee, and Angela Bishop and Derek Favreau were appointed to the Catholic Parent Involvement Committee. All Trustees were appointed to the Student Disciplinary and Supervised Alternative Learning Committees.

The next Regular Board Meeting is December 13, 2022, at 7:00 PM.
