“I want to bring forward the voice and the views of the people in the community,” states Rick Peters who is seeking election in Ward 3 for his second term as trustee this October.

Should he be voted in, Peters commits to listening to the voices and values of his community ensuring they continue to be reflected through whatever changes Manitoba Education plans on making in the coming years.

Peters, who is currently serving in Grunthal Ward 4 indicates he made the difficult decision to switch to Ward 3 after moving to Steinbach a year ago. In regards to this, Peters remarks, “When you become a trustee you do represent a ward, but furthermore, you represent the division.”

Working within the division is something Peters says he greatly enjoys, adding he looks forward to the possibility of serving again.
