Shelley Laskin has announced that she will run for the Toronto District School Board in the new muncipal ward of Eglinton-Lawrence and Toronto-St. Paul’s. Previously she has been the trustee for Ward 11 for many years. The change is required because of the Ontario Government’s decision to reduce Toronto City Council from 47 to 25 councillors and realign the City of Toronto’s ward electoral boundaries to reflect provincial electoral ridings. By law, the TDSB is required to align its ward electoral boundaries with the City’s and fit the present 22 TDSB wards into the new 25 City wards.
