During its November 30, 2015 meeting, the Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) proceeded with the selection of a new schoolboardtrustee to represent constituents living in Greater Sudbury’s Zone 4 (Wards 1 to 4: Azilda, Chelmsford, Dowling and Lively). Mr. Marcel Montpellier was the selected candidate and will serve in this position until the next school board elections in October 2018.

With this nomination, Mr. Marcel Montpellier is returning to the CSCNO where he previously served as a school board trustee for more than 15 years. During those years, he held the position of President and Vice-President, and participated on various CSCNO committees. A former board member of the Association franco-ontarienne des conseils scolaires catholiques (Franco-Ontarian Association of Catholic School Boards), Mr. Montpellier also represented the school board at the provincial and national level.

“We are pleased that Marcel Montpellier will once again contribute to the advancement of French language Catholic education in his role of school trustee,” stated Mr. André Bidal, CSCNO President. “In light of his continued commitment to parents and our community, I am convinced that he will defend with passion the interest of Francophone Catholic students.”

“The CSCNO greatly benefitted from Mr. Montpellier’s commitment towards our schools and desire to contribute to the advancement of French-language Catholic Education. We are looking forward to welcoming him to our team of school board trustees,” added Mrs. Lyse-Anne Papineau, CSCNO Director of Education.

The Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario offers a French Catholic Educational Program that is widely recognized for its excellence. The CSCNO provides a quality learning environment and academic program that runs from early childhood to adult education, with some 7,000 students in 27 elementary and 10 secondary schools.
