Rooted in thiscommunity.
Winnie Ho — neighbour, volunteer, and advocate for York Region families.
As an immigrant, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my own journey. I believe every student — regardless of their background, culture, abilities, or circumstances — deserves the opportunity, support, and encouragement to reach their full potential.
An immigrant's journey
My own journey of adapting, learning, building relationships, and contributing to Canadian society shaped who I am. I understand firsthand how education can open doors, create opportunities, and empower young people.
30+ years in York Region
I have lived, been educated, worked, and actively contributed here. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the people, families, and diverse communities that make York Region such a special place.
A lifetime of service
Through volunteerism, advocacy, and community engagement, I have learned the importance of listening, understanding different perspectives, and working collaboratively toward meaningful, practical solutions.
Ready to serve
I am committed to advocating for students, supporting educators, listening to families, and strengthening the partnership between schools and our communities.
"I believe my life experience, community involvement, and perspective as an immigrant can make a positive contribution to our education system."
