West Vancouver, Bowen Island and Lions Bay residents have elected Sheelah Donahue as their new West Vancouver School District trustee. Donahue topped the polls in a byelection held Saturday to replace former trustee/current West Vancouver-Capilano Conservative MLA Lynn Block. Donahue finished with 577 votes, or 66.7 per cent overall. Roman Nurpeissov came in second with 194 votes (22.4 per cent) and Neil Jensen finished third with 93 (10.7 per cent). Donahue, who already served on the school board from 2014 to 2022, said residents in the district can know they’ve elected someone who’s singular priority is student achievement. “I’m glad to be back to the trustee world and getting back to work soon,” she said. “Having been a trustee for eight years, I can get right back to work with very little orientation. That means less disruption to staff and we just carry on,” she said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
