When Marc Vella brought together 28 trustee candidates to run in eight B.C. school districts in the Oct. 15 provincial municipal elections, the leader of Parents Voice BC (PVBC) never expected they would win three seats and come close in several other races.

PVBC is a group “dedicated to electing independent candidates for school trustee that will put the needs of students and families first,” its website says.
