Testimonials!
Working alongside Zenovia on the Tofield School admin team was a very impactful experience in my career. Her leadership combined vision with genuine care, and she had a remarkable ability to bring people together around a shared purpose.
What I admired most was her skill in mentorship. She didn’t just tell people what to do- she inspired them to discover their own strengths. Whether guiding a new teacher through their first year, supporting colleagues through change after the pandemic, dealing with difficult parents, or encouraging others to step into leadership roles, she approached every interaction with empathy, wisdom and belief in others’ potential. You always left a conversation with feeling heard, supported, and capable of more.
Her leadership left a lasting mark on the school community-one built on trust, collaboration and kindness. Zenovia showed us that great leadership isn’t about titles or authority, but about relationships, integrity, and the courage to keep learning. Melanie Buckley, EIPS Principal BEd. MEd.
Zen's knowledge and expertise are incredible. She is thoughtful, mindful and dedicated, and knows how to support schools and staff with a clear plan and vision. Working with Zen showed me the incredible depth of energy, passion and commitment she puts into her leadership, and how much caring and connectedness she works to have with her staff.
Not only is she researched and has an incredible experiential set, Zen also has many connections in the field of educational leadership, and endeavors to continue learning from and sharing with colleagues new knowledge and best practices. She is truly a lifelong learner, one who understands systems and processes, and one who knows how to roll up her sleeves and get the job done.
She is is passionate, committed, extremely well read and has the know-how to put words and ideas into action. She has mentored and supported so many teacher leaders and fellow administrators, myself included...she is someone whose knowledge and expertise would be an asset to any team. Zen is caring and supportive and real...someone to learn from and learn with. A true leader, and of leader leaders.

In the short time I was fortunate to work with Zenovia, she was able to move a building forward while lifting up everyone around her. She had a vision for the school and held firm to her belief that everyone belonged. She ensured that she did not get lost in the administration part of the job and empowered those around her. Her compassion and empathy rang through every task she completed.
Mark Chanasyk Principal BEd. MEd.Zenovia Lazaruik remains one of my leadership role models. I had the incredible fortune to work alongside Zenovia during one of the most challenging times of our educational careers, the global COVID 19 pandemic and I was witness to her outstanding and inspirational school leadership in action. She showed compassion, strength, and perseverance in maintaining a vibrant and inclusive school community for all students, parents and staff.
Zenovia is a leader who builds connections. Whether it was her daily practice of welcoming the students and parents by name as they arrived at school, visiting classes to recognize student achievement, or building capacity by inviting stakeholders to provide input into our Collective Commitments, Zenovia’s leadership is clearly visible and connected to all members of the school community.
Her dedication to the school community is also matched by her commitment to professional learning. If you were to walk into her office, you would see the shelves surrounding her desk lined with all of the educational books that she had read. And it isn’t just for show. Zenovia is a reflective and thoughtful leader, deeply searching for the essential learning to inform her professional growth and dedication to making a significant difference to students, staff and parents.
At the core of her leadership are authentic compassion and service to the community. Zenovia Lazaruik is one of the best leaders I have had the pleasure of working with and I’m thrilled that she’s sharing her talents and wisdom with others at this stage in her professional life.
