About Weidong

I have run a successful dental practice for over 20 years. I graduated with a DDS and PhD from the University of Toronto and hold a Honours BSc from the University of Guelph. I am a Fellow/Master of the Academy of General Dentistry and Fellow of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry.

In 2022, I was inspired to run for public office for the first time to push back against the Toronto District School Board’s (TDSB) admissions lottery for specialized programs that has harmed so many students under the guise of equity. In the largest upset of the municipal election, I was elected as TDSB Trustee for Willowdale, defeating 8 year incumbent trustee and board chair on a platform of change.

Since being elected, I have built a strong track record advocating for financial transparency, efficient spending and good governance at the TDSB.

Moving forward, I remain steadfast in my commitment to bringing accountability, common-sense leadership and a renewed focus on academic excellence for Toronto families.
