One of my priorities as school trustee will be to build effective communication channels with parents and community members. So many people have told me that they rarely know what is happening at the school trustee table: this has to change!
On January 23rd, vote for Anna-Karyna for improved communications with the Viamonde School Trustee Board.
Who am I?
- A Toronto-Centre resident since 1998, I am a proud Franco-Ontarian and my child attends École élémentaire La Mosaïque
- I completed my primary and secondary education in French

- I have been advocating for the rights of Franco-Ontarian school children for the past six years
Leadership
I am a long-time advocate in my community. For example:
- Spearheaded two successful letter campaigns addressed to the Ontario Minister of Education and Viamonde school board – this led to the financing of the new Toronto East secondary school
- Held chair, vice-chair and treasurer portfolios on the board of directors of Le Petit Chaperon Rouge French Daycare (7 locations) for 8 years.
- Have been and continue to be an outspoken champion on issues facing francophone school communities since 2017, actively engaging in discussions with elected officials at the school board, municipal and provincial levels
- Member of the parent-lead advocacy group which has successfully campaigned for an equivalent Francophone high school as defined and required by the Constitution
