Congratulations to our very own Dr. Cindy Finn, Director General of the Lester B. Pearson School Board, on being named the recipient of the Nelson Excellence in Leadership Award! 🏆💫
This prestigious national honour recognizes exceptional school system leaders whose vision, innovation, and dedication are helping shape the future of education across Canada.
Throughout her remarkable career, Dr. Finn has been a passionate advocate for student well-being, mental health, equity, diversity, dignity and inclusion, and truly inclusive education. From her early days as a school psychologist to her role today as Director General, she has led with compassion, integrity, and an unwavering belief that every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Her impact extends far beyond our school board, influencing educational leadership across Quebec, Canada, and internationally. Here at the Lester B.

We couldn't be prouder to celebrate this incredible achievement!
