Making the Grade

The North York Mirror recently published its annual Toronto City Council Report Card. Councillor Carroll's grade below.

Shelley Carroll, Ward 33 Don Valley East - Grade: B+

The former Toronto District School Board trustee was off to an impressive start. Miller appointed her to two high profile committees - the administration committee and the budget advisory committee.

Locally, she's had massive development thrown at her along the Sheppard corridor, and handled it with aplomb, balancing community and developer needs, but taking her marching orders from constituents.

In debate, she has shown a real acumen for bridging the needs of her sub-urban constituents with those of downtown residents. She's among council's most promising newcomers.
