Vinay Paramanand for
HDSB Trustee

Oakville Wards 3 & 6

A Trustee Who Listens, Leads, and Puts Students First.

Families deserve a trustee who is accessible, accountable, and ready to turn community voices into meaningful action.

Why I’m Running

Every student deserves a school where they feel safe, supported and able to succeed. I’m running because families deserve a trustee who listens, asks the right questions and keeps student success at the centre of board decisions.

I want to bring a practical, collaborative approach to the role, with clear communication, responsible decision-making and meaningful engagement with families and the community.

Priorities

Every Student, Every Opportunity

Champion the resources, opportunities, and support every student needs to learn and thrive.

Schools Where Everyone Belongs

Foster safe, inclusive environments where every student feels respected, supported, and valued.

Parents at the Table

Give families a meaningful voice in the decisions that shape their children’s education.

Leadership You Can Count On

Promote transparent, responsible decisions and keep students and communities at the heart of leadership.

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

The Decisions We Make Today Shape Tomorrow

Our schools are changing, and the decisions made today will influence how students learn, grow, and succeed for years to come. Student achievement, well-being, inclusion, resources, and family engagement all demand thoughtful attention.

This is a time for leadership that listens, collaborates, and acts. Vinay is ready to bring a fresh, practical, and student-focused voice to the HDSB.

A Practical Focus on Students and Families

For Vinay, supporting students means listening to their needs, empowering families, and bringing communities together to create an environment where every child can thrive.

Putting Students at the Centre

Every decision should begin with one question: How does this help students learn, grow, and thrive?

Listening to Families

Parents and caregivers know their children best. Their experiences and perspectives deserve to be heard and respected.

Building Stronger Communities

Great schools do not exist in isolation. Strong partnerships between schools, families, and communities create better outcomes for everyone.

For Parents

The Decisions We Make Today Shape Tomorrow

Parents know their children best. Their experience and perspective should be heard when decisions affect learning, well-being and school life.

I want families to have clear communication, accessible representation and a trustee who will listen and follow through.

Why Vinay

Choosing a trustee means choosing someone who will listen to your concerns, understand what matters to your family, and stand up for students when important decisions are made. Vinay believes leadership is about showing up, listening carefully, asking the right questions, and turning community concerns into meaningful action.

Students First

Keep student success, safety, inclusion and well-being at the heart of every decision.

A Voice That Listens

Listen to families, students and educators and make sure their concerns are represented.

Practical Action

Focus on practical solutions and meaningful progress, not just good intentions.

Accountable Leadership

Lead with transparency, integrity and a commitment to keeping the community informed.
