Trustee Arsh Kaler Sworn In

The Abbotsford Board of Education is pleased to welcome Arsh Kaler as its newest member, following his official swearing-in at the public Board meeting held on Tuesday, October 21, 2025.

“We are delighted to welcome Trustee Kaler to the Board,” said Board Chair Shirley Wilson. “His enthusiasm, community-minded approach, and deep commitment to public education will be tremendous assets as we work together to support students, staff, and families across our district.”

“I’m honoured to serve the Abbotsford community as a member of the Abbotsford Board of Education,” said Trustee Kaler. “ I look forward to working alongside my fellow Trustees to support our students, families, and community.”

Trustee Kaler was elected earlier this month in a by-election to fill the vacant seat on the Board. Making history as the youngest official ever elected in the City of Abbotsford, his election reflects a strong message from the community about the importance of civic engagement and fresh perspectives in local leadership.

Welcome, Trustee Kaler!
