"I have personally worked with Benjamin, and I can say that what you see is what you get. He stands by his word, he goes hands and knees through the dirty work to make sure equality and reason is reached. He is fair and wants growth, but most importantly he cares. As a teacher, I can state that he makes a huge difference in students lives. He truly listens, is empathetic, but also challenges all of us to move beyond contentment and strive for a better community for students . I have seen the people he has serve, and how they respect him and how he shows compassion towards them. I proudly support Mr Meher for School Board Trustee."

""If there's one person I trust to truly listen, lead with integrity, and stand up for all students, it's Benjamin Mehrer. His passion for creating inclusive, supportive learning environments shines through in everything he does. Whether he's mentoring young leaders, volunteering in the community, or advocating for youth programs, Benjamin brings energy, compassion, and commitment to every role he takes on. He's not running for School Board Trustee just to fill a seat—he's running to make a difference.""

He is intelligent, knowledgeable and a very caring person, who I believe would like to help make a difference in peoples lives. As an outreach consultant, I have attended many events that Benjamin is also involved in, watching him interact with people has been inspiring. I wish him well in any opportunities that arise for him, as I know, he will work hard and to the best of his ability."

Proud to celebrate my Mennonite heritage at the MCC Festival. ❤️ My grandma is a Falk, and attending together has become a special tradition for us. This year was a little harder, as she’s been in the hospital for the past five weeks and wasn’t able to be there with me. It was a reminder of how much our traditions, heritage, and the people we share them with mean. Thinking of Grandma a little extra today. ❤️

What a weekend at the Abbotsford International Airshow! There’s something special about seeing our community come together for an event that puts Abbotsford on the world stage. From families experiencing the Airshow for the first time to generations who have made it an annual tradition, weekends like this remind me how much there is to be proud of in our city. I also had the incredible honour of meeting Canadian music legend David Foster — definitely a highlight I won’t forget! Events like the Airshow create opportunities for young people to dream big, discover new passions, and see just how many possibilities are out there for their future. Proud to call Abbotsford home. ❤️ Every Student. Every Voice. Every Opportunity. #mehrer4trustee #Abbotsford #AbbotsfordAirshow #SchoolTrustee
Yesterday I had a fantastic time at the CYPE Summer Social at Silverbrook Farm. As a proud member of the CYPE Council, it’s always great to connect with fellow young professionals, business leaders, and community members who are passionate about making Abbotsford an even better place to live, work, and grow. And of course… meet my new bestie, Janis the Goat. I think she was just about ready to come home with me. 😂 Building strong communities starts with building strong relationships. I’m grateful to be involved with organizations like Abbotsford Chamber’s CYPE Council that bring people together, foster collaboration, and invest in the future of our city. Looking forward to many more conversations (and hopefully a few more goat cuddles) along the campaign trail. #mehrer4trustee #abbotsford #abbotsfordvotes #community #fraservalley
