MacKenzie has served as a trustee for four years, having first been elected in the 2018 municipal election. He served as the board’s vice-chairperson from 2021 to 2022. 

“Since first being elected to the board of trustees in 2018, I have been consistently awed and inspired by what our students and staff can achieve when provided the opportunity to thrive,” said MacKenzie. “I am honoured to take on this new leadership role. I have long wished to serve and give back to my community and I look forward to working with my fellow trustees as we pursue the board’s mission to accompany our students and strive for excellence in Catholic education.”

During Tuesday’s inaugural board meeting, Peterborough County trustee Jenny Leahy was elected as the board’s vice-chairperson. Leahy, who retired from her 18-year career as an executive administrative assistant at PVNC in July 2021, joined the board of trustees in May 2022 as an appointee. She was re-elected to the position during this year’s municipal election on Oct. 24.

Newly elected trustees Mike Ayotte (Peterborough), Joshua Glover (Clarington), Mary Ann Martin (Kawartha Lakes) and Kathleen Tanguay (Northumberland) also joined the board table on Tuesday.
