One of the most important gifts we are given as citizens of a country is the right to vote. It is a sacred trust between the electorate and the candidate trusting that our voices will be heard through them. In Alberta with the right to Catholic Education our vote is even more important. We aren’t only electing competent people but competent people who are rooted in their Faith and are prepared to be an advocate for it. Kimberly qualifies in both these areas. Her competency comes from being a wife and mother, a master’s degree in special education, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a volunteer parent working in the schools... As a future trustee she knows her role is governance the kind of governance that places God at the heart of every decision. She recognizes that the graduating students of Calgary Catholic must not only have an exemplary education but must be prepared to be missionary disciples ready to challenge the social justice issues of the day rooted in their Faith in and knowledge. Having worked with her on the GrAce Committee (Grateful Advocates of Catholic Education) I know her passion and dedication to Calgary Catholic and to Catholic education. She is a strong advocate, one who is prepared to speak for the students and parents and willing to fight for Catholic Education at all levels. Her presence will be an asset at the board table of Calgary Catholic.
