Realtor, father of 3 to seek seat on Chilliwack school board this fall
CHILLIWACK — Elliott Friesen has a vested interest in seeing his kids in the Chilliwack public school system thrive and prosper.
Friesen, a realtor who has lived in Chilliwack for many years and has an extensive background in the construction and real estate industries, says his decision to run for the Chilliwack School District Board of Education in this fall’s election is based on his strong conviction to support higher learning while protecting the most vulnerable.
“As a father of three young boys, I believe the education system needs to be a place of peace, encouragement and inclusivity for all,” said Friesen. “It needs to be a place of camaraderie, a place the common bond is so strong it inspires students to unite with one another for the common goal of achievement, hope, confidence, and self worth.”
Friesen is a big believer in financial literacy for Chilliwack students.
