What Marina stands for

Four priorities
for Ward 5.

Priority 01

Safer schools

Every student deserves to feel safe walking into school. Marina will push for safer drop-off zones, traffic calming around schools, and better lighting on the routes kids walk every day.

Mental health support

Students are carrying more than ever. Marina will advocate for more counsellors and mental-health resources in every Ward 5 school — not just some.

Inclusive education

Every family in Ward 5 should see themselves in their schools. Marina will champion inclusive classrooms where diverse learners get the support they need to thrive.

Better resources, fairly shared

Too often, resources don’t reach the schools that need them most. Marina will fight for transparent, needs-based funding so no Ward 5 school is left behind.
