Nancy Close

I am honoured to be your Wards 11 & 13 representative for the CBE Public School Board, and excited to be a candidate in the October 20, 2025 election.
/ Priorities
/ Accomplishments
Increased funding
The Alberta government recently made an increase in funding, but we need to do more. I will advocate to increase base funding to cover costs of inflation and meet student needs in a growing city.
New schools
Smart, evidence-based advocacy from the Board of Trustees means that Calgary is moving forward with 15 new schools.
As CBE enrolment continues to increase, even more publicly accessible community schools are urgently needed. I will continue to use my skills to successfully advocate for the additional learning spaces that students and teachers need.
Commitment
Student success is at the centre of all CBE decisions.
Decisions are fiscally responsible, efficient and transparent. Ensuring every single child in our city is able to attend an excellent public school is the foundation for community success.
What do school trustees do?
School boards have three responsibilities: governance, advocacy, and making CBE the best choice for Calgary students. As an elected board, our oath is to act in the best interests of students and public education on behalf of all citizens of Calgary.
Your elected representatives provide the oversight and monitoring that supports the success of each and every student within a fiscal environment of a balanced budget that prudently, effectively, efficiently, and transparently allocates resources so that every child in our city is able to attend an excellent public school.
This presentation (PDF) from a CBE information session for potential trustee candidates has a wealth of information about the day-to-day work of trustees.
Request lawn sign
Campaigns matter, elections matter, and sharing support for Nancy will help her at the polls.
We'll leave a sign at your door for you to place on your lawn, and we'll remove the sign the day after the election.
Yes, I want a lawn sign!
