By

November 5, 2018 – Last evening at the Inaugural Meeting of the Near North District School Board (NNDSB), Trustee Jay Aspin was acclaimed as Chair and Trustee John Cochrane was elected as Vice-Chair.  Both Trustees bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their new roles.

Recently he served as the federal Member of Parliament for Nipissing-Timiskaming region. His extensive experience has prompted leadership roles as the President of the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities (FONOM), President of the Northern Ontario School Trustees Association (NOSTA), Chair of the Near North District School Board and Chair of the Aerospace Caucus in the federal parliament of Canada.

Mr. Cochrane has volunteered in a variety of positions in the educational sector for many years.
