Burlington supporters of French Catholic schools have their school board trustee without casting a ballot. Diane Courchesne was acclaimed to Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir, the French-language Catholic school board, because no one else ran, according to official results the City of Burlington posted for the Monday, Oct. 26 election.
Several other Burlington trustees were also acclaimed. Sonia Macaluso takes the city's seat on Conseil scolaire Viamonde, the French public board. On the Halton District School Board, the English public board, Bika Diakoloukas was acclaimed in Wards 1 and 2 and Amy Collard in Ward 5. The Halton Catholic District School Board race in Wards 4 and 5 did go to a vote: Tim O'Brien won with 2,552 votes (72.17%), 1,669 more than Katrina Vinka Kvenich.
Courchesne's four-year term runs from Nov. 15, 2026, to Nov. 14, 2030.
