Veteran Politician Runs for School Board | Winnipeg News

Seventy-seven-year-old veteran politician Jim McCrae is running for a seat on the Brandon School Division board, bringing decades of public service experience—including time as Manitoba’s Attorney General and Minister of Education—to the table. With five generations of his family tied to Brandon schools, McCrae says he’s driven by a lifelong commitment to public service and believes his background gives him the tools to navigate the division’s complex challenges: shifting demographics, rapid tech changes, and tight budgets. He’s calling for a focus on improving student outcomes, closing achievement gaps, and empowering teachers—while insisting school board decisions must remain free from partisan politics.
