Summary

There are currently two vacancies on the Board of Health. Lindsay Kretschmer submitted her resignation on November 26, 2025. Suman Roy’s seat became vacant effective November 25, 2025 for missing three consecutive meetings without being excused in accordance with Section 49 (8) of the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act, and Section 204 (c) of the City of Toronto Act. We would like to thank Lindsay and Suman for their contributions to the board.

Staff from the Public Appointments Secretariat in the City Clerk's Office are leading a process to recruit applicants and help bring nominated candidates to City Council for consideration.

Additionally, Ida Li Preti has advised us that she is on leave of absence from the Board of Health until such time as the Minister of Education lifts the supervision of the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
