Steve Bletas, respected member of our community, former chairperson of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, founder of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Foundation, and Elected commissioner, is being asked to resign as commissioner by the administration and some commissioners of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board.

After 14 years of dedicated service to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, Mr. Bletas resigned as chairperson in May of 2012 for health reasons which have confined him to a wheel chair. Now as a sitting commissioner he is there to represent his electors and community.

Mr. Bletas has been instrumental in obtaining new schools, grants, privileges from the Quebec government (MELS) and from the Ville de Laval and has helped many parents with school and child related problems.

This petition is in support of Mr. Steve Bletas and all that he has done for us and the people who have signed this petition are making the following demands :

1. We the parents, are asking that the current administration of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, the Commissioners and the administrators  cease their persecution of Mr. Bletas and end their constant demands to have Mr. Bletas resign from his legally elected position as commissioner for the SWLSB.

 2. We the parents also demand that the governing bodies of the SWLSB get back on track in running our school board and take care of matters involving our children and their education. 

If you support this petition and feel that the council and the administration of the SWLSB dedicate their time and efforts in running our school board, please indicate your support by either signing this petition or by attending the council meeting on August 29th, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sir Wilfrid School Board , located at;

235 Montee Lesage , Rosemere Qc., J7A 4Y9. (450) 621-5600

There is unity in numbers, let us show solidarity for our children and their education, let our voices be heard loud and clear!

The stories shared in the comments regarding the personal impact of this situation continue to provide clarity for our path forward. I am currently organizing these testimonials to ensure the administration understands the weight of our collective concern.

The steady growth of this petition shows how much this community values the long history of service Mr. Bletas has provided. This momentum suggests a shared belief that our elected representatives deserve our respect and fair treatment rather than pressure to step aside.

He helped my daughter so much back when she was in elementary. Absolute shame they are treating him like this after everything he gave.

Ridiculous to force him out because of his health. He is still more capable than the rest of them combined. Keep him on board.

THEY WANT HIM GONE BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY CARES. Disgraceful behavior from the board.
