Ottawa-Carleton District School Board
Safer classrooms
Stronger support
Real results
Rick brings a rare combination of executive governance and deep personal commitment to the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.
A 25-year public servant, local business owner, and sports franchise operator, he offers the proven leadership required to end boardroom dysfunction and restore fiscal accountability.
As a father and grandfather, Rick’s commitment to publicly funded education is personal. He raised three children: a McGill PhD candidate, a licensed electrician who built his own home, and a local teacher and coach right here in our community. That experience taught him firsthand that success takes many forms.
“Whether a student is bound for university, college or the skilled trades, they deserve a system that allows them to reach their fullest potential.”
— Rick Bedard
Rick’s practical plan puts resources where they belong: with students, educators and families.
A promise in action
Every dollar will establish scholarships for Ottawa students with learning disabilities.
Rick knows good governance starts with listening—to families, educators and the people doing the work every day.
