The Bay of Quinte Greens want to thank everyone who voted to elect Erica Charlton for public school board trustee for
HPEDSB.
We look forward to seeing her thrive in her new role.
Young, smart, and savvy – Erica Charlton was born and raised in the County where she has a wide circle of friends and family. As a girl, Erica excelled in almost every sport and competed in pretty much every sports field and arena in the County. Her memories are of biking everywhere – to the beach, see friends or stop-in at a local establishment. She knows this place, how much it has to offer, and how important it is to care for it.
Erica studied at Carleton University where she obtained her degree in Law and Psychology. At the same time, she was a highly successful retail manager in wireless communications and received many leadership awards. In her spare time, she volunteered for CKCU Radio, including co-producing and co-hosting a weekly, live radio show. Now, back in the County, Erica is the mother of a busy 5-year old and understands the issues that face us all in public education.
Erica is excited to bring her lifelong passion for learning to her new role as HPEDSB Public School Board Trustee. You can follow the latest happenings from the HPEDSB and contact your local trustees.
