| Lisa Lambert Email: lisa.lambert088@gmail.com Phone: (306) 931-9266  | My husband, Jim, and I have been blessed with three adult daughters and six grandchildren. We attend St. Philip Neri Parish. I am a member of our parish’s CWL. My walk with Catholic education governance began with serving as president of St. Luke Parent Council. My journey grew when I was elected as trustee for GSCS in 2003; I was honoured to serve four terms. I was chair of the Together in Faith & Action Committee, board member of the GSCS Foundation, executive member of the SCSBA, and member of two SSBA advisory groups. Following my election as MLA for Saskatoon Churchill-Wildwood in 2016 and re-election in 2020, my advocacy for Catholic education continued. As Legislative Secretary to the Minister of Education. I played a pivotal role in the addition of financial literacy courses to the provincial curriculum. My professional background includes over 30 years in media for CFQC Radio and CTV Saskatoon. As a ten-year member of my community association, I filled many roles - including one term as president. Community service includes serving on the boards of Wanuskewin Heritage Park and Saskatoon Friendship Inn. Personal highlights include writing a cookbook and receiving the President’s Award of Distinction from Volunteer Saskatoon. I commit to protecting and preserving Catholic education, academic excellence, faith formation of students and staff, parental choice, reconciliation, and responsible fiscal governance. I believe my experience and insight with various levels of government will be an asset to GSCS. I humbly ask for your prayers and support. |
| Wayne Stus Email: wayne.stus@gmail.com Phone: 306-477-0086 Mobile: 306-230-0616 Facebook: facebook.com/Wayne Stus  | I am married with 4 children and 10 grandchildren who are and will be faithful learners of Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools. They continue to inspire my devotion to our faith community through parish and school. As an active parishioner at the Cathedral of the Holy Family and member of the Knights of Columbus, I uphold the values of commitment to stewardship and service. I have past experience and if once again given the opportunity to serve as a Trustee, I will continue to advocate for the right to Catholic Education and to uphold authentic Catholic communities of learning for all. As well, I believe that student achievement and success is essentially rooted in the mission of God and Catholic teachings. With my background I will bring a unique perspective to problem solving and project management. I ensure an honest perspective to projects such as new school builds and upgrades, promoting equitable growth while considering all aspects of processes. I will also advocate that resources are readily available to provide student learning while considering the importance of classroom composition. The most important role as a Trustee is to represent each family, and to provide the parents with the ability to choose what is best for their child. I ask for your support to do my best to advocate for a God given and faith-filled Catholic Educational environment for students, parents and staff. May God’s blessing be with you all. |
