Mr.Truant taught for almost 30 years in District 57, first in Mackenzie then in Prince George. His specialty was Social Studies in particular Law 12.It was Truant's passion for Law that sparked interest from former student Cassidy Brunn to pursue a degree in criminology, after he challenged her to play the role of prosecutor during a mock trial in his law 12 class. "He was more than a teacher, he was a mentor he was a friend and I really miss him. I am who I am today because he believed in me," said Brunn at PGSS. "In our profession we always say that teaching is about relationship, more about relationship and less about curriculum and Vince just had a way to connect with kids. He established great relationships with students and the students absolutely adored him," said Kap Manhas, PGSS Principal. It is believed Mr Truant passed away from complications from heart issues, and now he's left the hearts broken of former students, co-workers and family members who are now hoping to raise money in his memory.
