Trustee Weidong Pei

Welcome to the Ward 12 Webpage

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my web page.

It is my pleasure to be the elected public school board Trustee for Ward 12. 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.

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.

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