Paul Tut – Winter 2025 Update
Hello Ward 13 Families,
I hope your family had a restful Winter Break, and the return to classrooms and learning spaces has been successful for your child(ren).
I am pleased to share that at the Monday, November 18 Board Meeting Trustees re-elected Maria-Felix Miller as Chair of the Board and myself as Vice Chair for a second term. I am thrilled to maintain my role as Vice Chair, but I am also delighted to share that I was elected by my fellow Trustees to be Chair of the Finance and Facilities Committee. In this role, I look forward to helping to shape decisions that make efficient use of our financial resources across all of HWDSB’s learning and workspaces.
Also, alongside my fellow Trustees we selected our colleagues for the following positions:
- Chair of Policy Committee – Sabreina Dahab, Ward 2
- Chair of Program Committee – Amanda Fehrman, Wards 11 & 12
- Chair of Finance and Facilities Committee – Paul Tut, Ward 13
- Chair of the Human Resources Committee – Dawn Danko, Ward 7

I look forward to continuing to serve the Ward 13 communities alongside my colleagues. You can read more about the election, click here. For those who may be interested, you can find the dates of all Board meetings, as well as a link to our livestream, here.
Also, I am thrilled to share the results of HWDSB’s By-Election and welcome Abby Zaitley as HWDSB’s Ward 4 Trustee. I look forward to the work we will do together alongside all our fellow Trustees
In support of our Multi-Year Strategic Plan, teams have been working at schools across HWDSB, including accessibility updates and dust collection at Dundas Valley, and playground paving at Yorkview. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about these or other renovation projects in Ward 13.
As we are in the middle of winter, I wanted to make sure you know where to find important information about Severe Weather. You can learn all about how HWDSB manages snowy and icy conditions here.
I encourage you to subscribe to your child’s school website, follow the Board on Instagram @hwdsb, and look for HWDSB’s monthly NOW@HWDSB newsletter in your email inbox. Please expect the next edition early February.
As the 2024-2025 school year continues, I look forward to hearing about the exciting activities and initiatives taking place in Ward 13 – and I will be back to you with another update in June
Sincerely,
Trustee Paul Tut
