About Shannon
A steady voice for OCDSB Zone 10
Shannon Boschy is running for school board trustee in Somerset because families deserve competent leadership, stronger academic outcomes, and a board that leads by example.
The Campaign
Competence over Chaos
Progressive Politics Predictably Produces Chaos.
It’s a feature not a bug.
The 2022-2026 OCDSB term was plagued with enough drama, board-member bullying, and costly code of conduct complaints to repeatedly make national news.
It’s the same story at boards across the province: Progressives Produce Chaos.
The last Zone 10 Trustee, appointed by a progressive-dominated board, was re-elected only to abandon her constituents. She literally phoned it in from Mexico until the board was suspended by the Ministry of Education in 2025 for mismanagement.
Shannon is a clear, professional alternative for voters in Ottawa’s OCDSB Zone 10 – Somerset who want practical decision-making centered on student outcomes, not selfish dramas.
What Shannon stands for
The campaign focuses on three connected priorities that speak to what local families expect from school board leadership.
Priority One
Achievement over Progressive Activism
The Role of Public Education is to produce well-adjusted, resilient, confident people prepared for the challenges of the future.
Priority Two
Canadian Principles
We are a nation carved out of a vast wilderness over centuries by brave resilient people from around the world.
The waves-upon-waves of newcomers who make up our nation often came here fleeing hardships, wars, famines, oppression, and violence.
While not perfect, our country welcomes those who want to live in peace, to work hard, and to build a new life free from foreign conflict, strife and animosity.
Priority Three
A Board by Example
Our School Board Trustees should be a positive example to the community and to the student body. We must demonstrate how adults handle difficult discussions and decisions with dialogue.
Shannon will represent Somerset with professionalism, respect, and a commitment constructive adult behavior with a small caveat: Sometimes true leadership will require the constitution and no BS fortitude that Canadian Farmers, Fishers, and Forestry workers are known for.
Why he is running
Leadership that reflects the community
Representing OCDSB Zone 10 – Somerset means understanding the expectations of a diverse Ottawa community and advocating with clarity. Shannon’s message is designed to reassure voters that serious leadership is possible and that the board can model the standards it asks of schools.
Competence over chaos means putting students first, leading responsibly, and earning the confidence of the community every day.
Shannon Boschy
His campaign is about restoring focus, improving outcomes, and showing that principled leadership can make a meaningful difference for students, families, and the broader public.
