Sep 8, 2026 | 9:47 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George school trustee Shar McCrory has announced she is seeking another term on the School District 57 Board of Education in the upcoming local government election on October 17.

McCrory was elected to the board in a 2023 by-election and says she wants to continue advocating for students, strong public education, and stable governance within the district.

Prior to joining the SD57 board, McCrory served more than eight years as a trustee with the Coast Mountains School District, including time as board chair. She said the priorities that guided her campaign three years ago remain just as important today.

“When I ran in 2023, I talked about supporting students and staff, improving transparency, strengthening relationships, and making sure the different needs of learners are reflected in our decisions,” McCrory said in a news release. “Those things still matter to me.”

During her current term, McCrory has taken part in board policy development, strategic planning, and district improvement initiatives. She also represents the board on the B.C. School Trustees Association Provincial Council and serves as the trustee representative on the Indigenous Education Council.

Looking ahead, McCrory says a new term would focus on supporting the diverse needs of students, ensuring strong and transparent governance, and supporting employees throughout the district. She also highlighted the importance of maintaining relationships with families, Indigenous communities, community organizations, and other education partners.

“Trustees will not always agree, and that’s part of governance,” she said. “What matters is that we do our homework, listen, work together respectfully and constructively, and make decisions that move the district forward.”

McCrory has lived in northern British Columbia for more than 30 years and has called Prince George home since 2022. In addition to her work in education governance, she is employed in the health-care sector and has been involved with a number of northern non-profit organizations.

General voting day for the local election is Saturday, October 17.
