Bob Schroeder announces candidacy for SD 57 trustee

The program manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern BC will be running to become a School District 57 trustee.

Bob Schroeder announced his candidacy and provided the following statement.

“As the program manager and registered social worker for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern BC, I have had the amazing experience of serving countless children and families in the community of Prince George for many years. I have also had the pleasure of working with students, educators, and administrators in SD57 when bringing programs to their schools which have positively impacted a wide range of students. While there will be new skills to learn in the role of School Trustee, I know that I will bring a unique and distinct vision to the role by focussing less on politics and more on positive education outcomes for all of our students.”

Schroeder has worked in the forest industry for many years before becoming a social worker and has lived in PG for over three decades.

The municipal election in PG is set for October 15th.
