I am proud to support my friend Rosey Manhas for SD43 School Trustee. Having volunteered with Rosey for years on DPAC43, I’ve seen her passion and integrity in action.

Rosey’s leadership is defined by her unique ability to truly listen and respond to the needs of SD43 parents. Since joining the board, she has hit the ground running, quickly earning the respect of her peers and was recently promoted to Vice Chair. Her transition from a dedicated parent advocate to an effective trustee has been seamless, and her commitment to improving student outcomes is inspiring. We need her continued leadership on the board for many years to come.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Rosey Manhas for many years and I’m thrilled she is running for re-election as an SD43 Board of Education Trustee. I first met Rosey through her service with DPAC43, where her leadership qualities were immediately evident. She is approachable, thoughtful, an excellent listener, and always responsive to the needs of families and the community. Most importantly, Rosey’s unwavering dedication and genuine commitment to students show that she is truly serving for the right reasons.

Rosey is dedicated to improving Coquitlam schools. She’s listened to parents and brought forward their concerns to SD43 as well as strongly advocated for more Burke Mountain schools. As part of the Board, she’s worked with all levels of government to bring forward successful capital projects, like the approval for Hazel Trembath Elementary. Over her last year in the school board she has shown thoughtful care for students, parents, and staff. Her experience will make her an effective voice for families on the Coquitlam School Board.

I was introduced to Rosey at a time when there were significant changes proposed in District 43 and she was immediately responsive to my questions and concerns. Providing guidance and support through all stages, Rosey quickly identified the issues and their short- and long-term impacts on individual students as well as the community at large.

As a parent with school-age children Rosey brings forth a logical, well-informed and thoughtful approach to collaboratively finding solutions. I’m pleased to see that Rosey is seeking re-election and hope to see her continue in her role as trustee for our growing community.

She is always willing to help out whenever needed and is truly an integral part of our team.
