Aurora, ON – At the January 10 Board Meeting, trustees of the York Region District School Board accepted the resignation of Anna DeBartolo as trustee for Vaughan Wards 1 and 2. The Board will fill the vacant trustee position through a by-election.

More information, including timelines and polling locations, will be made available through the City of Vaughan. The Board website will be updated as information becomes available.
