Brendan Joseph has spent his life serving Milton — in the kitchen, on the sports field, at church, and now, he hopes, on the school board.

For more than two decades, Brendan Joseph has built a career as a chef — a profession built on discipline, care, and showing up for people every single day, no matter how busy the kitchen gets. That same work ethic is what he brings to everything else in his life: his family, his parish, his coaching, and now, his campaign for school trustee.
Brendan has called Milton home for 14 years. He and his wife are raising two children here, navigating the same classrooms, the same school hallways, and the same concerns about overcrowding and support that every Milton Catholic-school family knows firsthand. He isn't approaching this campaign as an outsider or a career politician — he's approaching it as a parent with a direct stake in getting this right.
Faith has always been central to Brendan's life. He is an active member of his parish community, and he believes Catholic education should be about more than academics — it should form character, community and conscience. That belief led him to become President of the Conquest Boys Club, where he has spent years mentoring young men and building leadership programs from the ground up. It's also why he has coached youth cricket for more than three years, teaching kids teamwork, discipline and confidence on the field.
Brendan is running for HCDSB Trustee because he believes Milton families deserve a trustee who understands the real, everyday pressures facing our Catholic schools — and who has spent years actually doing the hands-on work of building community, mentoring youth, and leading teams, not just talking about it.
An active parishioner who believes Catholic identity belongs at the centre of every school decision.
A Milton parent of two who lives the same school experience as every family in Ward 1 & 4.
President of the Conquest Boys Club, with years of hands-on youth mentorship and leadership.
A youth cricket coach who has taught Milton kids discipline, teamwork and confidence for 3+ years.
A trustee doesn't run schools day-to-day — but working together with fellow board members, trustees approve the budget, set policy, hire and evaluate the Director of Education, and are the voice that carries parents' and communities' concerns into the boardroom.
Brendan is running because Milton Ward 1 & 4 needs a trustee who will show up, listen, and fight for a fair share of resources as our community keeps growing — and who brings real leadership and mentorship experience to the table.
