As the Trustee for our community of schools I regularly hold events that share information and provide opportunities for parents to learn and share from each other. These events are called Ward Forums. This school year there will be number of Ward Forums held for Ward 15 Toronto-Danforth. These meetings may be in person or virtual. See below for locations, dates, and topics. Sign up to receive Ward 15 email updates.
