Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) Trustee Marie Snyder has resigned from her position effective today, May 8th. On May 1st, Trustee Snyder submitted a letter requesting to resign from the board and Trustees accepted her resignation at the Committee of the Whole meeting this evening.

Waterloo/Wilmot constituents elected Trustee Snyder in October, 2022. “It has been an honour to represent Waterloo/Wilmot. I wish the Trustees and staff the best in their continued work to improve the educational experiences for the next generation,” said Trustee Snyder. An inability to fully participate due to health concerns was cited as her reason for resigning. During her tenure, Trustee Snyder put forward a motion to encourage continued masking in WRDSB schools.

This resignation has been handled in accordance with the Education Act and the WRDSB Bylaws. The board will discuss filling the vacancy at a future meeting in accordance with the Bylaws.

“I want to thank Trustee Snyder for her lifelong commitment to education and her service to the WRDSB. I wish her well,” Chairperson Joanne Weston added.
