Over 40 people attended our Ward 5 Forum on November 24, 2008. The event took place at W.L. Mackenzie C.I. and the keynote speaker was TDSB Director of Education Gerry Connelly. Director Connelly's address was entitled New Thinking in Student Success. My speech was based on the 45 suspension and explusion appeals hearings that I have sat on. Entitled Suspensions and Expulsions: Musings of a Trustee, provided important and insightful information on the trustee deliberation process. Susan Wakutz, Business Development Office, TDSB spoke about new strategies in school fundraising. I would like to thank the following Mackenzie students for helping out: Haley Durkey, Cressan Genus, Bineh Kalra, Davy Li, Mike Lu, Abi Rao, Anu Sivarajah and Wajeeh Syed. I also want to thank Superintendents Gen Ling Chang and Annie Appleby for attending. And thanks to all educations for making York Centre a great place to live and learn.
