Trustee Dennis Hastings - Ward 1

Welcome to the Ward 1 webpage

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my web page.

It is my pleasure to be the elected public school board Trustee for Ward 1. My role is to advocate for you and your child, and to represent the needs of all students and parents/guardians/caregivers across the Toronto District School Board.

What does a trustee do? Read more about it here and enjoy this short video - TDSB Trustees.

On the TDSB website, 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. You can also learn more about ways you can get involved and participate in the education process, like attending Board meetings or checking out volunteer opportunities.

Should you need information or have questions, please feel free to contact me by e-mail at Dennis.Hastings@tdsb.on.ca

Education is a shared responsibility, and I welcome and encourage your participation in our public school system.
