About Paras Mehta
My name is Paras Mehta, and I am proud to be running for Trustee of the Thames Valley District School Board in the 2026 Municipal Election.
I believe every student deserves access to a safe, inclusive, and high-quality education that prepares them for success in school, work, and life.
My professional career has been built on public service, accountability, leadership, and serving people from diverse backgrounds. As a Driver Examiner with Serco Canada, I work every day to ensure fairness, safety, and integrity while helping members of the public navigate important milestones. My previous experience in logistics, transportation, and international operations has strengthened my skills in communication, budgeting, problem-solving, teamwork, and responsible decision-making.
I hold graduate education in Information Security Management, studies in Supply Chain and Logistics, a Master of Science in Information Technology, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Applications. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of innovation, technology, organizational leadership, and continuous learning.
As your Trustee, I will be an accessible, transparent, and responsible voice for students, parents, educators, and taxpayers. I am committed to listening, working collaboratively, and making decisions that always put students first.
- WHY THIS RACE MATTERS
Board Under Provincial Supervision Since April 2025
the province took over our board and sidelined the trustees you elected.
Millions in deficits. Spending nobody voted on. Parents shut out of the room. I want to bring that voice back. I have run a business where the budget has to add up at the end of every month, and I will treat the board’s books with the same care.
- Vision
A Vision for Every Student to Thrive
My vision is to help build schools where every student feels safe, respected, challenged, and inspired to achieve their full potential.
Education is the foundation of a strong community. I believe our schools should provide excellent academic opportunities, support student well-being, embrace diversity, encourage innovation, and prepare young people for future careers and responsible citizenship.
As Trustee, I will work to ensure that every decision is guided by student success, transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of public resources.
- Why I'm Running
