I am honoured to be your representative for Wards 11 and 13 for the CBE Public School Board, and excited to be a candidate in the October 20, 2025 election.
Nancy Close
Re-elect
CBE Trustee Wards 11 & 13
A strong advocate who uses her voice to represent you.
An effective leader who delivers results.
A connector and partner who helps find common ground to move us forward.
Committed to our students, families, and communities.
Being a trustee is her full time job, and public education is her lifelong passion.
Priorities
Building Schools where they are most needed
Improved Funding to ensure student success in a growing city
Better Transportation options so our students get to class safely and quickly
Greater Inclusion so that every student and family is welcome
Meaningful Engagement so that you are heard and represented
Accomplishments
Increased funding
The Alberta government recently made an increase in funding, but we need to do more. I will advocate to increase base funding to cover costs of inflation and meet student needs in a growing city.
New schools
Smart, evidence-based advocacy from the Board of Trustees means that Calgary is moving forward with 15 new schools.
​
​As CBE enrolment continues to increase, even more publicly accessible community schools are urgently needed. I will continue to use my skills to successfully advocate for the additional learning spaces that students and teachers need.
Commitment
Student success is at the centre of all CBE decisions. Ensuring every single child in our city is able to attend an excellent public school is the foundation for community success.
Request lawn sign
