Malika Ghous

For TDSB Trustee – Ward 18

Scarborough has been my home for over 20 years. As a former TDSB student, I know the challenges facing students in classrooms, such as accessing the right programs and extra-curricular, adjusting to a new school, and more. The pandemic has brought on many new challenges for students and their families both in and out of the classroom.

Scarborough’s youth need our support to succeed.

As your TDSB Trustee, I will:

=

Work for more resources to support mental health and special education

=

Advocate for more programs that prepare students for life after graduation

=

Be a voice for investment for needed school renovations

Over the years I have known and had the opportunity to work with Malika Ghous, I have seen first-hand how hard-working and dedicated to our community she is. I’ve seen how much she cares for her family, including her young brothers that are still going to school in Scarborough. She wants the best for them and for all our children, and I know that as the trustee for Scarborough Southwest she will work hard to make sure all students have all the support and resources they need to succeed.
