John McDonald is running for a seat on the school board in the upcoming municipal elections.
McDonald spent 15 years teaching; 11 years in Grades 1 through 8 and four years in adult education.
He’s spent 66 years in the workforce, including jobs in construction and merchandising, often working for himself, along with some contracting.
“I’ve been involved in politics most of my life, mainly involving humanity and education,” McDonald said.

Democracy is akin to a plant, it has to be nourished. For if it stops maturing it dies.
