Board of Trustees
Wards 1 & 2 | Jenny Regal
Jenny Regal is honoured and humbled to be serving her first term on the Board of Trustees, representing Wards 1 & 2 in northwest Calgary. These include communities west and north of Stoney Trail to west of 14 St NW and various communities south of Stoney Trail, west of Sarcee and Shaganappi Trails and, except for two communities, north of 16 Ave NW. She is looking forward to working collaboratively with her fellow trustees to ensure that the Calgary Board of Education continues to put students first and ensure the future of public education in Alberta.
Jenny is a passionate advocate for publicly delivered, publicly funded public education. She believes in listening to learn, seeking to turn knowledge into insight, insight into wisdom, and wisdom into action. She earned her Bachelor of Education in Elementary: Reading and Language, and Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Calgary. She taught hundreds of students in CBE schools at the elementary and secondary levels for more than 34 years. She started serving teachers more than 30 years ago and was elected to many different elected leadership positions in The Alberta Teachers’ Association and the Canadian Teachers’ Federation. She brings a wealth of leadership skills and experiences to her new role.
Jenny and her family moved to Calgary when she was a pre-teen and attended junior and senior high in CBE schools. Jenny has attended both Stampeders games and the Calgary Folk Festival for decades, and enjoys working out, reading, theatre, travelling and spending time with her family and friends, wherever they are.
