During its April 26, 2022 meeting, the Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon (CSC Nouvelon) announced that it will proceed with the selection of a school board trustee to represent constituents living in Greater Sudbury’s Zone 5 (Wards 7 to 12). This decision stems from the recent passing of former trustee André Bidal, who was first elected to serve as a CSC Nouvelon school trustee in 2000. 

“In light of the importance of education in the life of citizens, we strongly encourage all those interested in contributing to the advancement of French-language Catholic education to submit their application,” added Mr. Paul Henry, CSC Nouvelon Director of Education and Secretary Treasurer.

The CSC Nouvelon invites all persons interested in serving as school board trustee for Zone 5 in Greater Sudbury (Wards 7 to 12) to submit a letter of motivation with a resume no later than 4 p.m., on Wednesday, May 25, 2022.

All candidates for an elected position in a French-language Catholic school board must, at the time when his or her application is submitted, meet the following criteria: live in the territory served by the school board, support the CSC Nouvelon as a taxpayer, be a Canadian citizen, be at least 18 years of age, be a Catholic, be eligible for French-language education, and not be barred from voting in a municipal election or holding a position in a school board by any law.

More information on the role and responsibilities of school trustees can be found in the document entitled “Changer les choses pour les enfants – Se faire élire comme conseillère ou conseiller scolaire,” which is available at www.conseillersscolairesontario.org.

The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon offers a French-language Catholic Educational Program that is widely recognized for its excellence. The CSC Nouvelon provides a quality learning environment and academic program that runs from early childhood to adult education, with some 6,100 students enrolled in 27 elementary, 1 virtual school and 10 secondary schools.
