Ruthann Fisher

Candidate for Waterloo Catholic District School Board Trustee

Elected (official result)

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 2 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Student wellbeing and learning

Will kids be safe, supported and learning well?

Fisher urges respect for all family types and compassion for students navigating family situations.

  • Urges trustees to understand the changing family dynamic: single parents, non-Catholic parents, newcomer families, wards of Children's Services.
  • Says respecting all families leads to compassion for individuals navigating their own personal family situation.
  • Wants to nurture people in these families so they know they belong to the universal family of God.
