Welcome to Trustee James Li's web page for Ward 13, Don Valley North and thank you for your visit!

Whether you are a student, parent or resident, as your elected representative for the TDSB, it is my role to advocate on your behalf. On the TDSB site, and on this page, you can stay informed on what’s happening at the Board, including policies under review, program updates and discussions around new initiatives to improve student success.

On this site, you can also learn more about ways you can get involved and participate in the education process, like attending Board meetings or checking out other volunteer opportunities. Education is a shared responsibility, and I welcome and encourage your participation in our public school system.

I encourage you to be involved in any way you can with your children's education through school councils, volunteering in the classroom, supporting your child's homework or modelling the importance of reading and questioning (critical thinking) in your everyday world.
