Linda Van Alphen
It has been a privilege to represent Summerland’s interests at the Board of Education table since 2002.
I came into trusteeship from being a BCCPAC parent advocate in the school system. At my first PAC meeting at Summerland Secondary School, I committed to getting a new high school gymnasium.
In 2023, it is my wish to be a trustee representative at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
I believe our most vital role as trustees is to provide the best resources, and opportunities to every child.
