Hi! I’m Jill Promoli.
As your neighbour and fellow PDSB parent, it has been my honour to represent Wards 6 & 11 since 2022.
There are a lot of challenges in education right now. Our kids deserve the best we can give them. I know how important this is and I will keep fighting for better. I’d be grateful for your support, and I hope I can count on your vote on Monday, October 26th!
Wondering if you’re eligible to vote for me? I will be on the municipal ballot in Wards 6 & 11 for all *public* school voters – about 2/3 of the voters in these wards. One of the great things about municipal elections is that you get to vote for three of your representatives all at the same time. While you’re voting for mayor and council, I would love to have your vote as well. Not sure which ward you’re in? Here are the boundaries of Wards 6 & 11!
For the past four years I’ve had the honour representing Wards 6 & 11 at the Peel District School Board, visiting these 28 schools serving our students in Wards 6 & 11, as well as others where some of our kids go for regional programming. From brushing up on my French to STEM nights to plays and musicals, robotics competitions, fundraisers, talent shows, artwork from grades K-12, Special Olympics, a ukelele class, dance party Fridays, speech competitions, costume parades, cross country meets, sock drives, food drives, school anniversaries, I have loved the opportunity to see the ways your kids are learning both in and out of the classroom, challenging themselves to try new things, and cheering on their classmates as they learn and grow together.
Most of our work as trustees happens in committees and the board room, but education in Peel – and the work we do to support it – comes to life when we get the chance to see it in action. There are a lot of challenges in education right now, and there are amazing things happening in our schools every day. Thank you to all our teachers and education workers for all you do to help our kids thrive, and thank you to all our parents helping our students bring their best selves to school. As a parent and a trustee, I see you, and I will continue working to provide every available support and resource to all our kids in Peel.

In 2022 I put my name on the ballot to work for safe, welcoming, and well-maintained schools here in our community. As a parent of two PDSB students, I have seen the great work our teachers and education workers have been doing, and I have also seen growing challenges as our system continues to face deep, chronic underfunding.
We know how important it is that our kids get a great education.
We know that our kids and the people who work with them deserve to be in safe schools where they all belong.
And we know that every kid deserves the solid foundation of a great education.
I say this so often that my kids have picked it up: needs before wants. I believe that our funding must prioritize necessities first, and as your trustee I have advocated for policies and budget choices that prioritize the needs of students with the aim of providing safe, caring environments with the tools and resources they need to thrive.
