It is a privilege to serve as your Board Chair for the Kenora District Services Board (KDSB). 2024 marks the KDSB’s 25th anniversary in improving the everyday lives of families and individuals throughout the Kenora District. The Board of Directors ensures that the KDSB continues to provide proactive support and services to those who need it and build upon vital partnerships with Municipalities, Unincorporated Territories, First Nation communities, and stakeholders.

The KDSB is firmly committed to the communities of the Kenora District and is responsive to regional needs. The KDSB builds upon the principles of collaboration and partnerships, proactive government relations, purposeful and powerful communications, and intentional reconciliation.

Our primary strategic goals are to have an engaged and fully resourced team, responsive, equitable access to services, enabling infrastructure, improved community well-being and belonging, and to be recognized as a catalyst for positive change.

The Board of Directors is obligated to ensure our services are being delivered in a fiscally responsible manner. With commitment from the Province of Ontario, the KDSB will undertake this challenge with a positive and proactive outlook as we work towards a future where our District prospers.

The Board’s continued commitment to you is to focus on how we can support our communities in thriving and to be an active voice on your behalf. As Board Chair, I wholeheartedly look forward to the work underway to improve the everyday lives of those in the District.
