We are saddened to hear the news of the passing of former School Board Trustee, Bruce Schieck. 

Bruce was a champion for public education and for his community. He was first elected as a trustee in the former Wellington County Board of Education in 1991, representing the rural communities of Wellington County, and served as a trustee in the UGDSB from 1998 to 2018. 

In 2018, he was named a recipient of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA) President’s Award. The award honours trustees “who have stood by their vision and selflessly given of themselves to the students and parents of Ontario for more than 25 years.”
