Abbotsford – (from Pamela Lee media release) – Experienced education professional Pamela Yee has decided to enter the 2026 Abbotsford school
trustee race.
Municipal Elctions are October 17.
Yee is passionate about education and has worked with students in the public and private sectors for over 20 years.
“I believe it’s advantageous to have someone in the trustee seat who can look at how the system works from all sides and strive to make improvements,” she said.
She is a proud Simon Fraser University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in French, and she also earned a Bachelor of Education, minoring in Curriculum and Instruction, after completing SFU’s Professional Development Program (PDP).
Following graduation, Yee taught in China for three years at a B.C.-accredited school, where she used the B.C. curriculum to teach foreign national students at the elementary school level. She returned to Canada in 2010 and taught at the elementary and middle school levels in the Coquitlam School District (No. 43) until early 2017.
“My experiences give me a unique insight into what works and what doesn’t inside a local school district,” she said. “And I’ve also earned excellent listening skills. My ability to problem-solve, be detail oriented and deliver a clear message will serve me well in the trustee role.”
Yee currently serves as a Chief instructor and Manager at a Kumon Math and Reading Learning Centre in Coquitlam. Since 2001, she has supported numerous families and taught over 2,000 students using the Kumon curriculum. In 2014, Pamela undertook a managerial role, where she continues to work directly with students while also handling administrative duties.
