Shannon Mitchell is a two-term District School Board of Niagara trustee, first elected in 2018. As a Trustee, Shannon has been a relentless advocate for students, leading efforts to strengthen school nutrition programs, expand educational opportunities, and ensure a higher-quality education for thousands of Niagara students.

Shannon has spent years fighting for what matters most: affordable housing, action on homelessness, truth and reconciliation with Indigenous nations, and a healthcare system that works for people—not just those at the top.

Shannon is stepping up to represent Niagara Falls—Niagara-on-the-Lake because she knows this moment demands bold leadership. Because every child—no matter their background—deserves the best start in life.

Shannon believes now is not the time to cave to Trump’s tariffs—it’s time to double down on what makes us proud to be Canadian.

Canada must invest in the things that make us proud to be Canadian—to protect our future. That means standing up to for-profit, American-style private healthcare and strengthening our public healthcare system.

She knows that working people and seniors deserve real change—affordable homes, food on the table, and a future they can believe in.

That means protecting and creating good-paying jobs right here in Niagara, making life affordable again by tackling housing costs, and banning corporate greed that’s driving up grocery prices.
