NNDSB Board Chair Erika Lougheed resigns as trustee

The resignation of Near North District School Board (NNDSB) Chair and Zone 2 Trustee Erika Lougheed was announced at last night’s Board meeting. Vice-Chair, Indigenous Trustee Ashley St. Pierre, who chaired last night’s meeting, is now the Board’s Interim Chair.

Interim Chair St. Pierre made the announcement during open session of the Board meeting.

“I would like to take this time to thank Erika for her dedicated service and commitment to us. She has made invaluable contributions to our board and will be missed,” said Acting Chair St. Pierre.

NNDSB is fortunate to have the experience of Interim Chair St. Pierre, who is the Education Director at Moose Deer Point First Nation.

“To ensure a seamless transition and adherence to the Education Act I have requested Director Myles to provide us with a written report outlining the steps in this process,” said Interim Chair St. Pierre. “He will be submitting that shortly. I will be requesting a Special Board meeting to review that report for decision and also where we can appoint an interim vice-chair.”

In the absence of a trustee, residents of Zone 2 should contact the board office at 705-472-8170 and speak with the receptionist as needed until a new trustee is in place.
