There are two upcoming opportunities to learn more about local school board candidates.
New Westminster Secondary School students Fiana Liu and Grace Ji have planned a meet-and-greet with trustee candidates for Monday, Oct. 27, from 3:45 to 5:30 p.m.
“We thought this could be a really valuable learning experience for students on politics and the nature of democracy, especially as the municipal elections are coming up,” Grace wrote in an email to The Record.
The event would give students a chance to learn more about the inner workings of their education system, she said.
“We welcome teachers and parents to come as well,” Grace wrote.

Meanwhile, trustee candidate Michael Ewen said the district parent advisory council is holding an all-candidates meeting for school candidates on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. at the New Westminster Secondary School library.
