Pamela Kainola Potvin was born and raised in Greater Sudbury in a close-knit family of four. As a mother of two daughters, Pamela has always found inspiration in her children, spending countless hours at arenas and sports fields. Her educational journey led her to Laurentian University for her undergraduate studies and later to Western University for Teacher’s College. With 28 years of experience in education, Pamela has served as both a teacher and, currently, as a secondary school principal. Outside of her professional life, she is a passionate sports fan and enjoys activities such as dancing, hiking, swimming, and kayaking.
