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:

• Etobicoke - Lakeshore, Etobicoke School of the Arts, September 20, 2011, 7:00 PM (Trustee Pamela Gough / Kate

Hammer)

• Etobicoke Centre, Martingrove Collegiate Institute (auditorium), September 20, 2011, 7:00 PM (Trustee Chris

Glover / Peter Kuitenbrower)

• Parkdale - High Park, Bishop Marrocco SS (auditorium), September 20, 2011, 7:00 PM (Trustee Irene Atkinson)
