Jennifer McKenzie offers everything one could possibly want in a trustee. She devotes her deep compassion, keen intelligence, and boundless energy to improving public education for everyone. Jennifer cares as deeply about the delivery of education across the OCDSB as she does about each individual child and family. She is a good listener and a careful thinker. These qualities make her one of the most effective trustees who has ever served as a member of the OCDSB.
