Informing your school trustee vote

This is the week when, collectively, voters in school division wards across Manitoba will elect their representation to school boards to serve a four year mandate.  

When we are handed a ballot we will be invited to 'vote for one trustee', OR 'vote for up to two/three/four trustees' depending on how many are elected where we reside.   

Doing some research is important, and mindful that many have voted at advance polls, here is how to inform your vote for school trustee:

  • visit Winnipeg Election 2022 for another source of information, again provided by candidates in response to an invitation to do so*
  • call candidates or send them an e-mail and ask the questions that are on your mind
  • if they are on social media, visit their platforms
  • if you live in LRSD, all candidates were invited to a forum, which can be viewed at LRSD.TV 
  • many teachers associations sent out candidate questionnaires which were posted on websites and social media platforms.

Visit the Manitoba School Boards election site for more information. 

Three more sleeps until election day!!

*includes mayoral and city councillor candidate responses as well.
