From ontarioschooltrustees.org:

My name is Emma Travis. I am a proud and loving mother of 4, supportive and adoring wife to a trucker, smart business owner, and I am an eternal optimist. I am not a wordsmith so here is a simple list of what a vote for me means:

• Support for programs that eliminate barriers and create equal access to education for all students.
• Support for tolerance and inclusion of all students
• Support for parental choice within schools for vaccines and sexual education
• Improved mental health support for all students and staff
• Fight to keep Adventure Class open and create more adventure classes in other schools within our board
• Support integrative and hands-on learning
• Never force children to wear masks again (choice should remain with the parents)
• No more cancel culture in schools

I will fight to ensure our children have the necessary physical, emotional, mental, and psychological skills to survive and thrive in real life.

Issues and views

• Supports parental choice within schools for vaccines and sexual education
• Never force children to wear masks again (choice should remain with the parents)
