Residents in the Portage School Division's Ward 4 could go to the polls again January 19th.

 

The seat is vacant, after Leslie Wishart resigned just before the October civic elections.

 

Helene Hoggarth has announced she's running for the seat, after coming close in the Ward 1 election. She feels the school board has to concentrate on giving the kids opportunities to post-secondary education.....



Hoggarth feels she's ready to deal with issues at the board level, and is excited to be campaigning again. She's confident she can represent kids well on school board.

 

Hoggarth plans to resign her educational assistant position if she's elected. She's the only candidate to come forward so far.

 

Nominations will be accepted between December 8th and the 14th.
