Larry Ryan, a Coquitlam resident of 15 years, has announced that he will be seeking a position as a trustee on the School District 43 board of education.
Ryan has been involved in the community for many years, dating back with his work as coach with Special Olympics. He has also volunteered his time in a number of community youth and high school sports. Most recently, Ryan was a member of the 2014 Coquitlam Sports Council (an advisory group to the city council).
