Elect Donna Danielli,
Town Councillor, Milton Ward 1 

What people are saying:

 

“I have known Donna Danielli for over 15 years as a school board trustee, when my child attended school in Milton.

We have worked side by side on committees, volunteered our time at numerous events and even sat across from each other, when I had an issue with the Director of the board.
 

Through it all, Donna was able to lead with grace, compassion and understanding whether she was supporting me directly or having to explain why things were going in a different direction than I personally wanted.
 

She is able to see the big picture, and works hard to represent everyone in her area (and beyond)
 

She will be an incredible asset to council and will be greatly missed at the HDSB”

 

- Shari White, parent and community advocate

 

 

“I have had the privilege of knowing Donna for many years. I, as trustee and former Chair of the PDSB. Our many years as trustees included, working together as Directors on the Ontario School Boards Association. Donna never once stopped working and advocating for her community. She was sincere, compassionate and passionate about her role as a trustee.
 

Donna would make an incredible Councillor I wish her all the very best on her new venture. ” Beryl Ford, retired Peel District School Board Trustee "I've had the opportunity to be supported by Donna as a Parent. I've also worked alongside Donna as a School Council representative. Donna's passion and energy for student success is extreme. She listens, is completely transparent, and takes on the toughest of challenges with finesse and empathy. She will ask meaningful questions with the goal of learning and understanding the perspective and intent of the audience before interpreting and taking action. It is this awareness and thoughtfulness we need in our educational leaders"

- Blair Fleming, parent

 

“I met Donna when I was elected as a student trustee when I was 17 years old. Now that I am about to turn 24 and enter medical school, I can still honestly say that Donna was a mentor of a lifetime. She showed me the power for true kindness in leadership, especially during very tough moments. I endorse her 100x over and I am so glad to have met her so early on in my advocacy journey. She always made me feel included, and she encouraged me to find my own voice (and took all of my ideas seriously, even if they weren’t the most thought out). I can’t thank her enough.”

- Olivia Lau, 2020 HDSB Student Trustee


 

“I could go on about Donna's professionalism, work ethic and ability to multitask but that's not what I admire most about her. What I admire most is her passion, her unending commitment to fight for what's right and her sincere desire to help. I think this is what has

allowed her to gain the trust and respect of local youth and community professionals alike.”

- Angus Coll-Smith, Executive Director of POSSE Project

 

 

"I have had the great pleasure to work for and with Donna Danielli for over ten years. As a former Superintendent, Associate Director and Director of the Halton District School Board, I was in the front seat of seeing the great work of Donna. The position of Trustee in public education is integral to the success of the board and the students. Donna performed this task, without exception, with the best interests of the board and especially the students, every single time. Watching her work and hearing her comments, it is impossible not to see her great devotion to students and their aspirations. Her values with respect to ensuring the success of the HDSB's students are incomparable. "
