An honour from Ontario's Minister of Transportation


 
On August 15, 2006 I registered as a candidate for the position of Ward 5 (York Centre) trustee for the Toronto District School Board. I have been living in the Ward for 17 years and my children have attended several Ward 5 schools. On any given lunch hour, I am biking around the York Centre meeting with residents and shopping at local businesses. I will bring enthusiasm, energy and a new vision to the job as Ward 5’s Trustee on the Toronto District School Board. Channelling this energy into new ideas, my goal is to advocate a focussed approach to fix our education system and bring to the table a mission that reflects the values of parents and teachers in the TDSB area. I will bring accountability to the position of trustee and lobby the provincial government for increased funding to education. Moreover, our public school system should receive the resources necessary to embrace schools of different philosophies and missions.
