Endorsements
"I am honoured to have the support of numerous organizations, elected officials, and community leaders in South and Central Etobicoke, including those listed below. I am committed to working together to give Etobicoke families a voice, restore Trustee statutory powers, and deliver safe, healthy, and inclusive schools that can provide a world-class education for every student in the city.
In particular, I want to highlight the support of education workers, elementary and secondary teachers, and three former school Trustees for Etobicoke Lakeshore and Etobicoke Centre. The people who know the job, trust me to do the job. They know I have the skills, experience, and policies to hit the ground running on day one and do right by Etobicoke families." -Tim

"We need a local Trustee who will work with parents and advocate for children. South Etobicoke has great schools and we need a strong local voice to represent our priorities. I know Tim will be relentless."

“Staff and programs are being cut from our schools. Class sizes are being increased. And our board is under supervision. Tim Ellis has a track record of mobilizing parents to fight for our schools. That's why I'm endorsing him for school trustee.”

Former Trustee, Etobicoke Board of Education| Former Governor, UofT
