About Lory Iovinelli

As a junior high English and French teacher in the Calgary Catholic School District, I saw in my students not just who they were, but who they were becoming—each one created in the image of God, filled with potential and light. That hope for every child only deepened when I became a mother to four children, who continue to teach me humility, faith, and love. These two vocations—teacher and mother—shaped my calling as a Catholic School Board Trustee. They’ve given me the heart to serve, the vision to advocate, and the courage to lead with compassion. For the past eight years, I’ve carried those lessons into my work as Trustee, where I’ve been inspired by countless stories of resilience, joy, and faith across our schools, parishes, and communities.
The voice I bring to the Board table is grounded in my experience as a teacher, mother, and active community member—and shaped by you, the families of Wards 6 & 8. You’ve seen my visible presence in schools, churches, and neighbourhoods because of listening and learning from you, which ensures your voice is reflected in every decision I make.
I remain deeply committed to the transformative power of Catholic education and would be honoured to continue serving with integrity, passion, and faith as your Catholic School Trustee.
