Advocating for local education: Tianna Klein seeks SD57 trustee seat in Mackenzie

A community-focused resident is looking to lock up a School District 57 trustee spot in Mackenzie.

Tianna Klein announced her intention to run during next month’s municipal election on Facebook.

Her background in politics and advocacy work began in Alberta, serving on many Parent Advisory Councils.

Since moving to Mackenzie, Klein has served on the board of the Chamber of Commerce and is a Sparks Leader while also sitting on the Youth Wellness Society.

She believes too many parents and community members have experienced the frustration of unanswered questions or letters, or of feeling as though their concerns disappear into a system that can be difficult to navigate.

Klein is also the mother of three children with physical and neurodiverse needs.

Other candidates running for school board include incumbents Sarah Holland, Shar McCrory.

Jake Skakun, Samantha Hermanson, and Don Sabo also announced their intention to run.

–This article has been change to correct the candidate’s last name, after the wrong surname was used.
