Why vote for Syed Ahmed
Three commitments from a parent of WRDSB graduates, for families in Cambridge and North Dumfries.
Accountability and results
I bring attention to detail from engineering and small business, and I will push for common-sense solutions that families can see and measure.
Community-centered education
As a parent of three kids who graduated from WRDSB schools, and a local community sports organizer, I will keep schools connected to the neighbourhoods they serve.
About
Syed's story
I have called Canada home since 1997. Previously, I worked as a marine engineer. Now, I am managing a small business to support a family of three kids who graduated from WRDSB schools, along with organizing local community sports events as well.
Through my background, I have learnt how to tackle real-world problems with attention to detail and a drive to help my local community.
Why Syed?
Everyone in our school community sees education through their own experiences, but we share one goal: to be heard and represented. I have lived that as a parent of three WRDSB graduates. I am committed to listening first, ensuring every voice matters, and bringing common-sense solutions to the table.
On the ballot, look for AHMED, Syed.

The office
Why this role matters
WRDSB trustees are elected for a four-year term. They help people navigate the school system, and they sit as a board that sets mission and policy, passes the yearly budget, and hires and evaluates senior staff.
A trustee must decide in the interest of public education across the whole district, while still representing constituents in Cambridge and North Dumfries. I have seen what these schools mean as a parent of three kids who graduated from WRDSB.
