*************************

Bonjour, I'm Eric Lapointe and I would be honoured to be re-elected as trustee of Bruce, Dufferin, Grey and Simcoe. I wish to continue to be a strong voice for French public education in Ontario. 

I'm a married father of two boys and have been a firefighter for the last 25 years.

The continued success of our Franco-Ontarian community is what motivates me. My focus is all the children of Viamonde. 

I'm passionate about inclusivity, health, mental well-being, and open communication. 

Anti-bullying must remain a priority in our schools.  

I will continue to promote awareness to strengthen our system and create achievable goals within our board. 

I'm committed to hard work and will carry on ensuring effective use of the budget and good communication between parents and staff.

I thank you for your time and ask for your support on Oct. 24, 2022.

Merçi.
