Hey, there’s another election!

Vote March 3, 2025.

Toronto District School Board is holding a byelection to fill the vacancy in the office of trustee, TDSB Ward 11, resulting from Rachel Chernos Lin’s election as City Councillor, Don Valley West.   

Election day is Mon., March 3, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and advance voting is Sat., Feb. 22 and Sun., Feb. 23, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Candidate registration closed Jan. 17 and as of the date of writing there were eight candidates registered (see https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/elections/2025-toronto-district-school-board-by-election/2025-toronto-district-school-board-by-election-candidate-list.)

There are 24 public schools in Don Valley West, four of which are in Leaside. The trustee is the representative of all residents, not just parents with children in school. The election is important. A possible all-candidates’ meeting will allow residents to meet and assess
candidates’ suitability for the trustee role.
