个人背景:
租客支持工作人员( Tenancy Support Worker )
政纲:
Tolerance, Behaviour & Respect
Community Engagement Programs
We need to get students involved in community programs and community activities. Let them learn and implement what they are learning in the society they are living. Let them learn how to give back to the community just for the sake of the community and not for any personal gain.
No to Bullying
Let us not confuse ourselves between bullying and LGBTTIQQ2SA(我们不要搞混了欺凌和LGBTTIQQ2SA). Zero tolerance. No to bullying. Bullying cannot be answered by bullying. Let us not divide our students into groups and parties.
Sex-education vs Age Appropriate Curriculum (“性教育”对“妥当的课程”)
Honestly, let's ask the students what they think about the changes in their curriculum. Most of them say: "Disgusting!". Let them learn what they need to learn in it's right time.(坦白说,让我们问学生对大纲变化的看法。他们绝大多数人会说:“恶心!”让他们学他们在适当的年龄需要学的东西。)

Kuga Kasilingam
个人背景
1. Went to School in Ward 21
2. Proud Parent of kids attending TDSB Elementary, Middle and High School
3. Active in School councils, Parent Acadamies and Community Advocacy & Pressure Groups. Served as Parent member of TDSB's Inner City Advisory Committee and Equity Policy Advisory Committee.
4. Participated in Educational Conferences, Workshops and Seminars
政纲
“maintaining mutual co-operation among all 22 trustees over their political ward boundaries and with good understanding and negotiations with the municipal and provincial governments. The bureaucratic delays and red tape at this gigantic board can be overcome by this approach and I feel I am best suited to do that job. With many years in budgetary and financial reviewing experience, I could strongly advocate for greater accountability and transparency, which many feel is lacking at the moment. I also plan to create more immersion Schools, enriched Programs and additional after-hour Community Hubs at School premises for seniors, youths and new immigrants. I will work against School closures on some arbitrary statistics, without adequate consultations and long term alternative arrangements.
I do not wish to campaign on any other issues which are outside the Board's mandate and Trustees' purview.”

个人背景
“I am seeking to return as your TDSB trustee in the upcoming by-election on Monday, January 25, 2016. It is a position I proudly held for 6 years from 1997 to 2003, during which I considered it a privilege to serve the Scarborough Agincourt community. I had 46 schools in my ward including 8 major high schools one of which was Agincourt C.I. where our daughters attended. As your trustee I set up an office in my home and personally took and answered all calls myself. I have lived in the ward on Stubbswood Square for the past 44 years. Over that time I have served the community as a referee in SHA, Director and umpire in chief Agincourt Fastball Association, ran a drop in centre for youths in Chartland and Henrey Kelsey Schools. I have a degree in Business Administration from U of T. I am winner of the Chartland School Association Award for service to the community as well as being awarded the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal in recognition of volunteer service in Scarborough Agincourt Community.I am currently retired.”
