About Shelley Carroll
Shelley Carroll is the City Councillor for Ward 17—Don Valley North. Shelley got her start in politics as a parent-advocate when she saw the detrimental effects that education cuts were having on her own children. Her tireless defence of public education led her to be elected as a School Board Trustee in 2000 and earned her a Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal.
Shelley was first elected to City Council in 2003. In 2006, Shelley was elected by her peers to serve as Chair of the Budget Committee. She utilized her financial background to deliver four balanced budgets in the thick of the global financial crisis, making Toronto financially sustainable for the first time since amalgamation.
As the City’s Budget Chief and Mayor’s Economic Development & Culture Champion, she plays a crucial role in delivering balanced budgets and facilitating a vibrant and inclusive economic and cultural recovery for the city. She currently serves as the Chair of the Toronto Police Service Board, overseeing Canada’s largest municipal police service. She also sits on the boards of Toronto Global and Destination Toronto, with a focus on attracting talent, investment, and visitors to one of North America’s fastest growing and most exciting cities
