I have worked with Juanita for over six years and have received her help in supporting youth, women and seniors in Markham community. Through her active role in CanTYD, SSN, Youthlink and Family Services of York Region, she has helped our communities enormously. She would make a great public school trustee as she understands the needs of children, youth and parents. More importantly, she is someone who will work hard to meet those needs.
