My Never-Ending Story

Picture1.jpg

Hello  - -朋友們  -- My name is Christine Calanchie and I am your candidate for York Region District School Board Public English Trustee in the beautiful Wards 2 and 6 of Markham, Ontario.

Originally from Westmount, Quebec, I was educated in the Quebec public school system through Grade 11 and graduated from McGill University (Management and Accounting) and now a resident of Unionionville for the past 28-years

Much has changed in Markham in the last 28 years. Fields where cows used to graze are now home to new Markham residents. The 407/ETR highway did not exist - nor did the YMCA and the Pan Am Centre, Angus Glen and Aanin Community Centres. No one could have foreseen the COVID-19 that descended upon us for so long and disrupted our lives - including and especially those of school aged children. 

I have decided to run for School Board Trustee because now that the pandemic is "over" it is time to reboot and to learn from the experience of remote learning and cohorts. It is time for new and fresh ideas to prepare students for a 'new' future, job prospects that differ so dramatically from just three years ago. Emphasis on S.T.E.A.M. has to be addressed and children who are not interested in University should be encouraged to enter the workforce through the Trades - an area which has been often maligned.

As I am semi-retired, I will be able to treat the part time position of School Trustee as a full time position - always available to work with teachers, administrators, children, parents, government and other trustees.
