Chilliwack – She is known as the Biologist with a Twist and has the academic resume to back her up.

As a resident of Chilliwack Bondar has created a body of work that clearly reflects a commitment to education and creating opportunity for others.She is an accomplished educator,most recently in the position of science communicator and adjunct biology professor at the University of the Fraser Valley. Her charity, STEM angels, is a fully registered Canadian Charity that provides childcare dollars to females in pursuit of professorship positions at Canadian universities.

In closing her announcement, Dr. Bondar stated “I am excited for the opportunity to bring cohesion to the Chilliwack School Board and refocus attention on the diverse student body and their experiences in our district. In diversity, there is strength and compassion; as such, I proudly support moving forward in the best interests of our community and school district including students, parents, teachers and all other school districts staff.”
