The new Ward 2 Trustee at the UCDSB is Todd Robertson.
He’ll represent Lanark Highlands, Perth, Tay Valley, Montague, and Drummond/North Elmlsey.
Robertson takes over for Carole Dufort, who resigned earlier this year citing health reasons.
He’s had an extensive career with the provincial government, most recently spending over seven years as a Director in the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General.
Robertson said one of the aspects of the board director’s plan stood out to him the most.
Robertson was asked his opinion on governing and operating from a school board perspective.
Robertson also currently serves as Board of Directors Vice-Chair for Leeds, Lanark and Grenville Addictions and Mental Health, as an appointed Community Member of the Leeds County OPP Police Service Board, and as a member of the Committee of Adjustment for the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands.
