it is all about relationships

 "I have known Stacey for a few years, Stacey is a woman of integrity, courage and community, which are also a part of Langley School District’s core values. I have witnessed Stacey have the courage to stand for her beliefs and I have witnessed Stacey stand with others whose voices needed to be heard.

Stacey believes in public education and has a fundamental understanding of the roles and responsibilities in serving as a Trustee. Stacey will be a strong voice, an outstanding advocate and who will also work well with our community. I have no doubt that Stacey will serve our children, parents/caregivers and staff well in our District. I fully support and endorsement of Stacey Wakelin as she seeks to serve as a Trustee on the Langley Board of Education."

"I am honoured to endorse Stacey Wakelin as a trustee for the Langley School Board. I have known Stacey and her work in the community for several years. Whether hosting community dinners or founding organizations like BC Families for Inclusivity, Stacey continues to find inspiring ways to focus her remarkable skill-set on improving the lives of children and families in Langley.

In everything she does, Stacey is collaborative and hard-working; she will undoubtedly contribute to a positive and constructive working atmosphere on the Langley School Board. Furthermore, as a community leader, small business owner, and mom to two high-school students, serving as a Trustee on the Langley School Board will be an excellent use of her talents and voice."

"Stacey brings people together. It's that simple. She works through the hard stuff and has a calm demeanor while doing it. When she told me she was considering running, I could not think of a better person to bring positive change to the Langley School Board. 

Why? She stands up and, unlike so many in politics, isn’t beholden to others. She stays true to her values of inclusion and diversity while working diligently to represent her community. 

How? Stacey is a driving force of many community initiatives - whether creating a community dinner series, creating safe spaces for families, or volunteering with different community organizations."

"Thanks Cindy Dalglish, for pointing out Stacey Wakelin's many strong 

contributions to our community. I’ve attended several of the community dinners that she co-hosted, serve on a non-profit board with Stacey, have supported other causes that she has championed and was ready to support Stacey’s efforts for Langley’s first Pride celebration as an act of social inclusion until COVID cancelled it. I love Stacey’s commitment to an inclusive community and am pleased to see her putting herself forward to serve our community through our school board."

"Stacey Wakelin’s experience and values make her more than well-qualified to join the hardworking team that works to support Langley’s school district, our students and community. Her hands-on and direct approach in business, social justice, and community building make her the perfect candidate. She is a knowledgeable and intelligent problem-solver. It would be a pleasure to see Stacey at the table helping shape our school district for years to come."

Kim Houlind, Social Advocate and Community Builder.

"As a teacher, I am sad to say that I have been left severely disappointed by the inaction of many school trustees. I am done having the education system led by individuals that have rarely listened of represented my district with the level of advocacy and strength needed. This is the exact reason why Stacey Wakelin is the person we need in the role of trustee. I have seen her advocacy in action during this time of COVID-19, standing up for the safety of students, teachers and staff. I know that she will listen to all stakeholders and fight for a strong public education system. Our education system is one of the cornerstones of our society, we need trustees that understand that responsibility. A vote for her is a vote for your voice. A vote for her is a vote for strong and ethical leadership. I am proud to say that as a teacher, I fully support Stacey."

"As a local business owner, professional facilitator/instructor, and parent to two school-aged children in the public education system, I am honoured to provide this endorsement for Stacey Wakelin in her campaign to serve as Trustee on The Langley Board of Education. 

Stacey presents an indescribable pursuit of equality, tireless volunteerism and exhaustive advocacy for all students' best interests.  I have witnessed Stacey navigate challenging conversations regarding pupil health and safety with integrity, professionalism, and an inspiring commitment to each student's wellbeing and the wellbeing of the entire Langley community.

Stacey may be the most qualified candidate I have encountered to sit on The Board. I am thrilled to support her as she promotes investment into the public education system, creating the change we desperately need for our children and their educators."
