DPAC Executive Nomination: Kyenta Martins

Kyenta Martins has been nominated to the DPAC executive by the Tyee PAC. Her nomination will be voted on at our AGM, June 23rd.

In her own words: I am Kyenta Martins, parent to a child at Tyee currently in grade 5 and a child who will enter grade 8 at Ideal Mini next year.

I have been active in school PACs since my oldest was in Kindergarten at Cunningham. I have filled the roles of secretary and co-chair, as well as worked on fundraising and community building projects. For the past two years, I have worked to have all families represented in schools, and for our schools to foster equity in education. Part of this advocating has involved creating the group Option 4 Families of Vancouver and working with Safe Schools Coalition BC. This advocacy has included communicating and working with DPAC to provide information and representation for at-risk families in Vancouver.

I believe passionately in the importance of transparency in government and communication with the community.
