An endorsement from School Board Trustee Allan Wong for Brent Granby on the Park Board
From Vancouver School Board Trustee Allan Wong
“I have known Brent Granby for many years and am inspired by his leadership style and his sense of responsibility to the community. Brent has consistently acted with the upmost integrity and respect for others and is able to work cooperatively in diverse groups. He is a consensus builder and an advocate for public education and community accessibility for all.
I remember Brent’s tremendous role in quickly seeking a community-based solution to transport students in the West End to the District French Immersion program in Kitsilano. Brent went straight into a problem solving mode and came up with a local solution of car pooling and later a walking school bus using public transportation.
Brent has spent over a decade involved in many issues pertaining to the Park Board. If there is anything I need to understand about the Parks Board I feel confident seeking Brent’s description and his personal balanced views as well. I hope that his experience and perspective is given the opportunity to serve the Park Board in order to guide staff and the board to a more liveable and sustainable Vancouver. I sincerely encourage and support Brent’s nomination and look forward to him being a commissioner for Vancouver this November.”
