Ed Desaulniers

Port Moody SD43 School Trustee Candidate

I was born in Montreal and moved to BC over 25 years ago. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Concordia University. Both of my children have attended public schools in BC their whole life and my eldest is a recent graduate of Port Moody Secondary. I have been a small and medium sized business owner with over 20 years of experience including a wide range of business management and negotiating experience in both union and non-union environments.

I was the Chair of the Parent Advisory Committee for Highland Elementary and have been involved in numerous school activities and programs over the last 15 years. Public schools are the cornerstone of our Port Moody community. I am committed to all students having the best education in an inclusive environment. Students should have the resources and opportunities to reach their highest potential. Public schools provide these opportunities as children learn about themselves and develop to be active members of our community.

My key priority is dealing with the SD43 emergency plan. My plan would involve creating more transparency and engagement within the community and coordinate with the parent advisory boards for each school I will represent.
