September 6, 2011 Dear Parent/Guardian/Community Member, What your child is learning, how your local school operates, and what resources are spent on education are based upon the policies and decisions of the Ontario Provincial Government. With a Provincial election just around the corner, your vote matters. The Ontario Public School Boards' Association has declared September 20 as Education Day. In support, Toronto School Board Trustees are organizing all-candidate meetings in school board wards across the city. These non-partisan events are a great opportunity for voters to hear directly from their local candidates of the major provincial parties. Please join us to: * learn more about key issues that affect public education in Ontario * find out where your local candidates stand on questions that matter to parents in your community Your local meeting will take place at: * St Paul's, Northern Secondary School (auditorium), September 20, 2011, 7:00 PM (Trustee Shelley Laskin) * Eglinton - Lawrence, John Polanyi Collegiate Institute, September 20, 2011, 7:00 PM (Trustee Howard Goodman) * Don Valley West, York Mills Collegiate Institute (Titan Hall), September 20, 2011, 6:30 PM (Trustee Gerri Gershon) For more information or to learn about other meeting locations, please visit: www.tdsb.on.ca/educationday or www.opsba.org Sincerely, Chris Bolton Chair of the Board of Trustees Toronto District School Board
