Municipal Elections 2010 –
Can I Vote for Catholic School Trustee?
Remember, our next municipal election will be held
on Monday, October 25, 2010. To find out if you are
a (Catholic) separate school supporter, contact
your school board and ask for the Admissions or
Assessment Office. Contact information for all
boards, in addition to other election resources, is
available online at: www.archtoronto.org/trustees.
You can also amend your status at the voting
booth if necessary. When you arrive to vote, verify
that you are registered as a (Catholic) separate
school supporter. If your support status is incorrect
ask to have your status amended. The ballot you
use to vote for other elected officials (mayor, etc.)
will also include candidates for Catholic School
Board Trustee. Even if you do not have children in
our publicly funded Catholic Schools, you still
have the opportunity to vote for Catholic School
Trustees.
To help educate our family of faith, Archbishop
Collins has given permission for Catholic School
Trustee candidates to distribute literature to
parishioners departing weekend masses from now
until October 16/17. Take the time to get to know
the candidates and, most importantly, exercise
your democratic right to vote.

those who helped to decorate the Stephenson room, for
setting up and for serving the food; for those of our
parishioners who generously donated baked goods for the
bake sale; for everyone else not mentioned here who had a
hand in helping out that evening and for ALL of those who
gave up of their time and generosity to attend this most fun
filled evening. May God bless each and every one of you for
your thoughtfulness and kindness!
