🌟 MEET YOUR TRUSTEE: Lois Phillips 🏫✨

Lois was born and raised in Lac La Biche and comes from a deep-rooted local family. Before joining the Board, she spent decades in NLPS classrooms as "Miss Phillips," teaching K–3 students in Lac La Biche and Kikino Métis Settlement until her retirement in 2021. As a third-generation teacher and lifelong learner, public education is truly in her DNA!

Now serving in her second term as trustee, Lois brings her passion for children, family, and community to division governance. She serves as the board representative to the Public School Board Association of Alberta, sits on the Policy Committee, and takes a deep personal interest in the Truth and Reconciliation Committee. (And whenever she’s off duty, you can usually find her spending time with family, enjoying a hot cup of coffee, or cheering on the Edmonton Oilers!) 🏒☕

Beyond NLPS, he has lent his expertise to crucial organizations across Alberta, serving on the Attendance Board of Alberta, the Lakeland Centre for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Board, and two terms on the Portage College Board of Governors.

Throughout his career, he focused on Aboriginal liaison work, crime prevention, su***de intervention, and family violence prevention, while pioneering EPS's Aboriginal Job Development Program to recruit members from diverse and Indigenous communities.

Since retiring, Jim has devoted his time to volunteering across his home community, serving as an Elder for the Settlement Council and the local school.
