About Jennifer Branston
Jennifer Branston was elected to the North Vancouver Board of Education on October 17, 2026, as one of the four trustees the District of North Vancouver elects. The District's official count gives her 6,290 votes, fourth of the 11 candidates, the last of those elected. The Chief Election Officer declared the result on October 19, 2026.
She also ran for the District's school board in 2022, her VoteMate page from that election shows. On VoteMate in 2026 she wrote that she chaired the North Vancouver Parent Advisory Council for eight years, has served on school district committees on policy review, inclusion, accessibility and emergency preparedness, and works as Operations and Governance Coordinator for Canada's National Autism Network. Those are her own accounts.
Her campaign site lists three priorities: mental health, well-being and safe, inclusive schools; strong support for students with diverse learning and support needs, with greater transparency in decision-making; and technology, future-ready learning and more career and skilled trades opportunities.
In the statement she filed with the District, reproduced by North Van Votes, she wrote that in 2024 she received the George Matthews Award for Excellence in Parent Leadership from the British Columbia Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils. That is her own account.
