Graeme Noble – Winter 2025 Update
Hello families of the Waterdown-Flamborough area,
I hope your family had a restful Winter Break, and the return to classrooms and learning spaces has been successful for your child(ren).
In support of our Multi-Year Strategic Plan, our facilities staff have been working diligently at schools across HWDSB, including the following in our own area:
- Cafeteria, student washroom, and changeroom renovations at Waterdown District High School;
- Planned septic system upgrade at Flamborough Centre;
- Renovations to washrooms as well as the main entrance and foyer
- Dust collection at Waterdown District High; and
- Design of the new 504 pupil-place K-8 elementary school in Mountainview Heights.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about these or other projects in any of our Waterdown-Flamborough schools.
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 Paul Tut as Vice Chair. 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
Additionally, at the December 2 Governance meeting Becky Buck, HWDSB Trustee for Wards 8 & 14, was elected as Chair of Governance Committee.
Also, I’m excited to share the results of HWDSB’s By-Election and welcome Abby Zaitley HWDSB’s Ward 4 Trustee. I look forward to the work we will do together alongside all our fellow Trustees.
I look forward to continuing to serve the Ward 15 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.
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 15 – and I will be back to you with another update in June.
Warm regards,
Graeme Noble
