[6] Curry was raised in Scarborough, Ontario,[7] the daughter of an Italian mother and Newfoundlander father.
Curry resigned her seat in 2012, stating that "she's so sick of the board's dysfunction", and called on the Ministry of Education "to introduce sweeping changes to the way public school trustees conduct business... and to launch and investigation into how (the board) govern themselves".
[2] Following Curry's predecessor, Jenna Sudds being elected to Canadian Parliament in the 2021 Canadian federal election, city council opted to appoint a replacement rather than hold a by-election, citing the cost of holding a by-election ($500,000), COVID-19 restrictions,[13] and the need to have the seat full immediately to participate in the 2022 budget.
[6] Wilkinson had been "presented as the top choice of community associations in Kanata", though Curry stated she had consulted with Sudds and local MPP Merrilee Fullerton prior to her appointment.
[9] Prior to her appointment to council, Curry served as a board member at CHEO, the Caldwell Family Centre, Ronald McDonald House Ottawa, the Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health and Ottawa Fusion Volleyball.
