Wishing you all the joy and relaxation you truly deserve in your retirement ! Your support and kindness over the years have meant so much to me, especially allowing me to work remotely from the UK when my granddaughter was born. I’ll always be grateful for that. You’ll be missed more than words can say!

It has been a pleasure and privilege to have such a dedicated and compassionate Continuing and Adult Education Principal. I wish you all of the very best in your well-deserved retirement!

It has been a pleasure working with you at International Languages for the last few years. Although we met seldomly, you gave me your full attention and was always so supportive and approachable. Will miss you and I am sure the Board is losing a very dedicated, positive person. I wish you the very best in your retirement and all success in whatever you chose to do. Cheers!

May your retirement be filled with the many blessings life brings.

I appreciate the leadership and stories you have shared during our time working together.

It was a pleasure working with you, from your time at GGMSS, then again for IL, and during summer school.

You will be missed at Cont. Ed., but new adventures begin for you.

Wishing you all the best :)

Words do not do justice to the joy and care your leadership has had to PDSB over the years. You were such an integral part of Erindale's healing in 2022.

I will miss you dearly, but I am so thrilled to share in this huge milestone - the next chapter of your life. Congratulations on your retirement.

Here's hoping our paths cross again.

All the best,

It has been absolutely amazing getting to learn and work with you since your VP appointment at TLK...many years ago. Your genuine kindness and authentic sense of compassion - showed equally, to staff and students - are truly unique. I remember you visiting the Special Education classes in the DD program every morning and interacting with the students. They were happy to see you and share high fives and smiles. After TLK, we also worked together in IL Con Ed for a few years. All I can say is that I am forever grateful for your generous support, good advice, the stories we shared and, often, the good laugh. You are a leader who inspired and helped me over the years. I wish you all the very best in the next chapter, lots of travelling, good reading and enjoying the gift of time with your beautiful family. It's been an honour!

Whatever you have next, you deserve it and I hope our paths cross somewhere down the road.

Happy retirement!! It has been a wonderful experience to work in the Cont. Ed. department under your leadership. All the best wishes.

Jagtar

Take care

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you when you were the Vice Principal at TL Kennedy SS. You were always polite, humble and welcoming to all staff and students. You had a soft corner for our Special Needs students and they thoroughly enjoyed the moments with you! You would always show up for their Commencement even after you left TLK. That shows the big heart you have for students and staff. I have briefly met you after that at the IL location where I was or at TLK whenever you visit, and it's always been an absolute pleasure to see you! Your kindness and humility will always be in the hearts of many students and staff. Thank you so much for all your support that you have given me. :)

Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Retirement, filled with a lot of joy and new adventures! 🎉✨🚤✈💐🌷

Wishing you all the very best in your future endeavors. It has been a true pleasure working with you for so many years and learning under your guidance. Best of luck as you begin this exciting new chapter!

It has been a pleasure working with you the last couple of years. I am sure the Con Ed dept will miss your leadership and guidance.

(Sorry for the emails asking you to add me to your Brightspace VLE)

All the best!

It was a great pleasure working with you while I was at Adult Edu, then night school and IL. You were always supportive, kind and respectful to me and those around. Wishing you a healthy, peaceful, fulling retirement. You will be missed!

All the best. Syndra

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement! Our paths first crossed when you were my vice-principal at Mississauga Secondary School. In fact, you conducted my first TPA! What wonderful memories we have shared together, only to be reconnected when you worked with Mama Sa'd at TLK, and now through Continuing Education. You have always been such a wonderful mentor, and I will miss you dearly! Best wishes as you move on to the next chapter of your life - looking forward to connecting over a lovely cappuccino and Portuguese tart!

Keep smiling always,

Rukiya

Thank you for being more than just our leader— you’ve been a mentor, a role model, and a true friend. Your kindness, patience, and support have meant the world to me. I’ve learned so much from you—not just about leadership, but about grace, integrity, and staying grounded in what really matters.

Your legacy will be felt for years to come, not only in the way the Cont Ed Program runs but in the way you’ve shaped the lives of those lucky enough to work alongside you. I feel incredibly grateful to have been one of them.

Wishing you a retirement filled with joy, adventure, and everything that brings you happiness. You’ve more than earned it!

I have such fond memories of ballroom dancing, carpooling, watching you lead student trips to Italy, and seeing you coach and inspire students with such passion. You were truly the heart of Mac!

When I followed you to Peel, even though we didn’t work together directly, we remained friends, and thanks to summer monitor teachers, we got to work together again.

This is such a huge milestone. As you look back on your incredible career and the countless lives you’ve touched, I hope you feel proud! You're a phenomenal educator, a true leader, and a cherished friend.

I’m so grateful to have started my career with you and to be here now to celebrate this moment with you.

Congratulations on your retirement my dear friend!

Congratulations! I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible leadership and guidance you’ve provided over the years. Your passion for the IL program and your unwavering commitment to our diverse community have been truly inspiring. You consistently made time to attend cultural events, showing your genuine support and respect for every student and family—it helped build a more inclusive and connected environment for all of us. It has been a pleasure working with you!

As you begin this new chapter, I wish you a joyful and fulfilling retirement. May your days ahead be filled with peace, happiness, and exciting new adventures. Best wishes in all your future endeavors—you’ve certainly earned them.

With deep appreciation,

Tejinder

You are an amazing leader! You are kind, fair, and a wealth of knowledge. If this is truly your 'for real' retirement, I wish you fun, relaxation, and a at least twice yearly occasion where sand is between your toes.

Take care - you've earned it !
