Bridging system gap heroes - who are they?

Today, there are many courageous women and men across BC, serving in dually elected roles as trustee and councillor (or electoral director) concurrently, and successfully for multiple terms. They are bridging the disconnect between civic planning and school boards, so plans are in lockstep with one another. Here are just a few mentions from BC...
