A STRONG VOICE.Leadership that brings people together.
An educator, researcher and Orléans resident, I bring my experience in education, my knowledge of the CEPEO and my community involvement to the service of students, parents and our francophone community.
Marthe Foka
Candidate for School Trustee
CEPEO — Zone 6 · Beacon Hill-Cyrville • Orléans-Sud–Navan
Four priorities, at a glance
Every student's success and well-being
Giving every student the conditions to learn, progress and thrive.
Supporting staff and school leaders
Attracting, supporting and retaining qualified staff, while backing strong school leadership.
Families as true partners
Listening better, communicating better and encouraging genuine parent participation.
A strong, forward-looking francophonie
Growing our schools while championing a francophonie that is strong, inclusive and diverse.
Together, let's grow schools our community is proud of.
Why I'm running
Our schools. Our families. Our future.
Our French-language public schools are far more than places of learning. They contribute to our children's success, to how they build their identity, and to the vitality of our whole community.
Our region is growing and changing. Our families are increasingly diverse, students' needs are evolving, and our schools must keep attracting and retaining committed professionals while maintaining a strong dialogue with parents.
I'm running because I believe we can meet these challenges with experience, listening and ambition. I want to help build a CEPEO where every student can succeed, where staff are supported, and where every family feels welcomed, heard and a full partner.

Voting for a CEPEO candidate: two requirements
To vote for a CEPEO trustee — the French-language public school board — being registered to vote is not enough. Two separate steps are required, and both are mandatory:
- 1Be registered to voteMake sure you are on the City of Ottawa voters' list.

Check both before October 26. School support designation is changed through MPAC.
