MacKenzie was first elected as a trustee in 2018, served as vice-chairperson from 2021 to 2022 and was elected chairperson in 2022.
“The past several months has had the spotlight on the role of a trustee. I look at it as a blessing. Months ago, many of our constituents did not know what we did or the value we brought. Now, I think they know the advocacy we bring and help we provide,” said MacKenzie. “Every term brings new challenges and new things to celebrate. The hard work and dedication of everyone at PVNC Catholic doesn't go unnoticed.”
Peterborough County trustee Jenny Leahy was also acclaimed as vice-chairperson. She holds this title for a fourth consecutive year. Leahy joined the Board in May 2022 and was later elected in the October 2022 municipal election.
This year’s annual meeting also marked several milestones:
Loretta Durst (Peterborough) – four years since her appointment in November 2021. She was re-elected in the 2022 municipal election.
Joshua Glover (Clarington), Mary Ann Martin (Kawartha Lakes), and Kathleen Tanguay (Northumberland) – three years since their elections in 2022.
John Connolly (Peterborough) – his third annual meeting since being appointed in September 2023.
