Meet Chipalo.

[ Where you're from and how you got to Winnipeg. One paragraph. Name the year, the job, the first neighbourhood you lived in. ]

[ Your family. Who they are, which schools, what your partner does. This is the paragraph people actually remember. ]

[ Your working life, and the specific skill it gave you that's useful on a school board — reading a budget, running a team, chasing a government department until it answers. ]

[ The moment that got you involved in schools. A specific thing that happened, not a belief you hold. ]

I’ve served as your trustee since 2022. The job is unglamorous: budgets, boundary reviews, capital submissions, and a great deal of listening. It matters because what gets decided in that room decides which building your child walks into in September.

I’m asking for a second term because [ the one thing you most want to finish ].
