In case you missed it, North Vancouver residents have been tasked with electing a new member to school board this month.

The school trustee byelection race kicks off tomorrow (May 19) with advance voting open at District of North Vancouver municipal hall (355 West Queens Rd.) from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Another day of advance voting is scheduled to take place at Windsor Secondary and municipal hall on May 24 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

General voting day is set for May 29, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with seven voting places scattered throughout the district. The voting locations include:

  • Argyle Secondary (1131 Frederick Rd.)  
     
  • Braemar Elementary (3600 Mahon Ave.)  
     
  • Capilano Elementary (1230 West 20th St.)  
     
  • Cleveland Elementary (1255 Eldon Rd.)
     
  • Lynnmour Elementary (800 Forsman Ave.)
     
  • Seycove Secondary (1204 Caledonia Ave.)
     
  • Windsor Secondary (931 Broadview Dr.)

The District of North Vancouver called a byelection in March after trustee Devon Bruce announced his resignation from the school board in February.

Five nominees – Jo-Anne Burleigh, Jullian Kolstee, Alex Kozak, Linda Williams and Linda Munro – put their names forward in the election race, with the winner meant to serve out the remainder of the current term which ends in October 2022.

The last time there was a byelection for a North Vancouver school board seat was in 2009. In that race, 2,757 voters cast a ballot – a turnout of 4.75 per cent.
