A Coquitlam mom with years of volunteering for school programs is throwing her hat in the ring to run for school trustee.
Jennifer Blatherwick (jenniferblatherwick.ca) has raised five children in School District 43 and has been a District Parent Advisory Council representative for Maillard middle school, association director of Odyssey of the Mind and a parent reading coordinator for Rochester elementary, among other activities.
Among her top issues is early access to assessment and support for children with learning disabilities and daycare on school sites, which she thinks the school district should promote with new and innovative ways to use facilities year-round.
Elections for the SD43 board of education and Tri-Cities councils will be held Oct. 20.
