Community catalysts: UTSPA

Since 1920, University of Toronto Schools Parents’ Association (UTSPA) has played a pivotal role in strengthening our school community. As UTSPA co-presidents, our aim is to continue to build on this legacy, while responding to current and emerging opportunities, in alignment with the strategic goals of our school. Our work cannot be done without the many dedicated UTSPA parents who volunteer their time, skills and resources every year. We believe that parents can contribute to creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere within the school, and that our involvement fosters stronger relationships for the entire community. The commitment of parent volunteers not only enhances the educational environment but also demonstrates the value of community involvement in shaping the future success of students.
