GUELPH – The Wellington Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) trustees selected their chair and vice-chair for the coming year at the board’s inaugural meeting on Dec. 7.
Vikki Dupuis is returning as WCDSB chair.
Dupuis has served the WCDSB for over 25 years, earning the honourable Ontario Catholic Trustees Association Trustee Award of Merit in 2019.
“I am honoured to have the opportunity to continue to serve the Wellington Catholic Board of Trustees as chair and support the work of our administration and staff in the safe, welcoming and equitable environments of learning within our schools,” said Dupuis.
“These are unprecedented times and now, more than ever, we need to provide children and youth of our community with supportive learning spaces where students’ well-being, mental health and growth in learning are the focus.”
Sebastian Dal Bo will be serving alongside Dupuis as vice-chair.
Another longstanding member of the WCDSB, Dal Bo has served as trustee for the past ten years which has included previous terms as vice-chair.
As a former principal and teacher with the Wellington Catholic District School Board, Dal Bo brings experience and a strong connection to the district in this role.
“It is an honour to serve as vice-chair for 2021,” said Dal Bo. “The Board of Trustees will continue to support excellence in Catholic education and strong connections with our families, parishes and schools in the coming year.”
The term for the chair and vice-chair is for a period of one year, commencing the first board meeting in December.
