Nancy Owens hasn't added a story.
My name is Nancy Owens, and on October 20, 2018, I am hoping to be elected School Trustee for SD43 - Port Moody.
I am asking for your vote on October 20th, as well as your support during the campaign. Support can take many forms (taking a lawn sign, volunteering a couple hours, or making a small donation), and I appreciate all of it! With your help, I know we can do this! But first, a bit about me & my qualifications:
The daughter of public school teachers, I grew up in Port Moody, and attended a variety of SD43 schools (both French Immersion and English) from Kindergarten to Grade 12. My SD43 education prepared me well for university (SFU), where I achieved a BA in Psychology & English.
My spouse Dave and I are now raising our three kids in Port Moody, and all three attend, and have always attended, SD43 schools.
I am an active volunteer in the community, and at my kids' schools. From running the Scholastic Book Fair at the elementary school level (six years running!), to holding roles on PAC, from volunteering at special events to driving on field trips, I try to get involved at the schools whenever I am able. I have great relationships with teachers and staff, and have a good sense of what is happening in our schools.
Professionally, I work part-time at the City of Coquitlam, where I hold a position focused on building successful partnerships with a wide-range of companies and organizations. I work regularly (and successfully) with budgets and agreements. A natural relationship-builder, I understand that great things can happen when successful partnerships are built!
When I'm not working/volunteering, or at home with my family, I can usually be found walking my dogs on the local trails, watching my kids' sports/activities (rowing, hockey, and soccer... just to name a few!), and, when I'm really lucky, checking out the local Arts & Culture scene!
If elected to the role of School Trustee this October, I will bring with me:
- The unique perspective of a person who grew up in Port Moody, attended SD43 schools, LIVES in the community, and is currently raising my three school-aged children here.
- A promise to go above and beyond, do more than my share, and always maintain strong relationships with the school communities.
- A commitment to understanding the childcare needs of SD43 families, and exploring ways to address these concerns
- A strong commitment to supporting programs such as SOGI, and initiatives like Orange Shirt Day. There is always room to be more compassionate and inclusive!
- A belief that there needs to be increased equity throughout our diverse school district, in order to ensure the needs of ALL students are being met
- A promise to be accessible, and learn about the needs/views of teachers, parents, and kids. I promise to make informed decisions. I promise to always listen.
And finally, I am proud to say that my campaign is not aligned with any political party or union. I am running as an independent, engaged & qualified candidate who will act in the best interest of our school communities - no strings attached!
I believe I am extremely qualified for the role of SD43 School Trustee for Port Moody, and I am confident I can be elected on October 20. While I am running a modest, grassroots campaign, there are still campaign "basics" (things like postcards and lawn signs) that cost money. I received my first donation today (Sept 19), and it has allowed me to move forward with some basic campaign material. It feels like a very exciting start! Please note, if you would prefer to donate offline (via cash or cheque), that would also be awesome - and I can always note the donation here!
Thank you very much for reading and supporting. See you on the campaign trail!
Warmest regards,
~Nancy Owens
