Your Guide to the 2025 Westwind School Board Trustee Election

The final countdown to Election Day is on! On Monday, October 20, 2025, our community will head to the polls to elect its municipal leaders and, just as importantly, the trustees who will govern the Westwind School Division. With only one week left, now is the perfect time to learn about your local candidates and prepare to cast your vote. Go to the Westwind School Division Board of Trustees Election webpage for more information.

Why Your Vote for a School Board Trustee Matters

While the races for mayor and council often capture the headlines, the role of a school board trustee is fundamental to the success and well-being of our community's children. Trustees are your elected advocates for public education. They are responsible for:

• Setting the strategic direction and vision for the school division.

• Establishing policies that ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

• Overseeing the division's budget and ensuring fiscal responsibility.

• Representing the community's voice in decisions about local education.

Your vote directly influences who will be making these critical decisions on behalf of our students, families, and educators for the next four years.

Make an Informed Decision

The strength of our school system depends on engaged and informed voters. We encourage every member of our community to take a few moments this week to learn about the trustee candidates running in their local ward. You can learn more about candidates through local news sources, community discussions, or by looking for information they may have shared publicly.
