Two seat vacancies on London Police Service Board
Megan Walker was appointed by the province for a three year term in 2022, which expired earlier this year. There are now two open seats on the London Police Service Board (LPSB). Megan Walker was appointed by the province for a three year term in 2022, which expired earlier this year. And according to her, the provincial government chose not to extend it. The other board vacancy was created when former Chair Ali Chahbar resigned earlier this year. Walker was the executive director of the London Abused Women's Centre for nearly 25-years, and says her work on recognizing femicide and intimate partner violence is among her proudest accomplishments. 'Everybody brings to the board their own strengths, and skill, and backgrounds. And my background clearly is in ending male violence against women, and legislating femicide. And so, I was able to bring that to the table. Those issues were addressed and accepted by the board as positions that we would move forward on. And so that was pretty exciting,' said Megan Walker, former LPSB member.
