Trustee Malika Ghous - Ward 18

Welcome to the Ward 18 webpage

Greetings, and welcome to my Trustee Website.

For those of you who may not have had the pleasure of meeting me yet, allow me to introduce myself. I am your dedicated community advocate serving as the TDSB School Trustee in Ward 18 – Scarborough Southwest. I serve as the vital connection to the School Board overseeing the educational well-being of our local schools. As your elected representative, I collaborate with fellow trustees to make informed decisions and stand as your voice when needed. I firmly believe that together, we can contribute to the continued excellence of our public schools.
