As Don Valley West prepares for the TDSB Ward 11 Trustee by-election on Monday, March 3, 2025, Don Valley West for Environmental Action (DVW4EA) has surveyed candidates on their positions regarding climate action in schools. The group, focused on sustainability and community advocacy, asked candidates about their stance on net-zero targets, energy-efficient retrofits, active transportation, and student food programs.
Six of the ten candidates responded, with answers highlighting varying levels of commitment to Toronto’s Net Zero by 2040 goal, improving school infrastructure, and incorporating climate-focused education. Some emphasized expanding active transportation options like safe walking and cycling routes, while others proposed energy retrofits for aging TDSB buildings and stronger partnerships with municipal climate initiatives.
DVW4EA is encouraging voters to consider where each candidate stands on these issues before heading to the polls. To read the full survey results, visit this link.
