Ward 4 residents will elect a new public school board trustee to represent them on the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board in four days.

I sat down with four of the eight candidates to ask ten questions about how they will govern, what skills they will bring, and why they think they deserve your vote.

(The other candidates either declined to be interviewed or did not respond)

Information on how and where to vote is available on the City website here: https://www.hamilton.ca/city-council/municipal-election/hwdsb-ward-4-trustee-by-election

Election Day is Monday, January 6, 2025, with polls open between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. in three locations:

  • Rosedale Arena and Seniors Centre, 100 Greenhill Ave., Hamilton
  • Sir Winston Churchill Recreation Centre, 1709 Main St. E., Hamilton
  • BGC Hamilton-Halton, 45 Ellis Ave., Hamilton

  1. Excellent questions and all had great answers. Knowing Larry, I think he would make a great trustee as he did a good job first time he served. Good luck to all who are running. Thanks Joey for taking the time to interview these great canadates.
