• Michael Cherny, for a term of office ending September 29, 2022.

• Paul Jonathan Saguil, for a term of office ending September 30, 2021 – this appointment recommendation is intended to replace David Morris, who resigned in August 2020.
• Sarah Zerihun, for a term of office ending September 29, 2022.

Please note that Marco Calabretta-Duval has resigned (end-of-term) due to a relocation outside of the City of Toronto, effective January 28, 2021.

Please also note that the Board only received 2 applications for 4 catchment positions. The Board recommends the appointment of 2 non-catchment applicants who live within a few hundred feet of the catchment area. Further, one of these terms is ending in September 2021. The Board has agreed to prioritize catchment area recruitment for the following recruitment cycle.
