Yee says her experience gives her the knowledge and expertise to understand and work with teachers, students and parents. She is also a new mother, with a daughter set to join the Abbotsford School District in 2027-28.

Yee has been an Abbotsford resident since 2015 and has lived in the Lower Mainland since 1987 when her family immigrated from Brunei. Having been raised in a close-knit family, she believes that strong family units and strong school communities are interrelated. She says parental concerns are important to her, whether they involve bullying, in-class instruction or learning challenges.

Her platform will focus on the following:

• Safe Schools – ensuring all students feel safe, welcome and respected to foster better learning • Strong learning – establishing clear benchmark goals in reading, writing and arithmetic and working to achieve them.

• Supported educators – encourage ongoing recruitment of TTOCs and support staff, aim to retain teachers by making Abbotsford more desirable to work.

• Responsible leadership – allocate additional funds for meal programs and bussing service so that all students have a way to school, pledge to vote against any salary increase.

• Planning for the future – upgrading playgrounds and facilities, vote to fund STEM programs and career counselling.

“Abbotsford has tremendous potential but we need to work on realizing that together, and it starts with our youngest,” Yee said. “My commitment to the Abbotsford School District is reinforced by my extensive experience in the education field. Make sure to vote on Oct. 17 and trust Yee for trustee.”
