School Board Elections

Welcome!

The October 27, 2010 school board elections are a great opportunity for Manitobans to get involved in public education - by voting or running as a candidate for school trustee. This section provides information for both candidates and school boards. (This material has been prepared as a guide; candidates are encouraged to review the relevant legislation for complete information.) For more information please contact Heather Demetrioff, Associate Director.
