Board of Directors

Thornhill Child Care Society is governed by volunteer parents who make the decisions regarding the direction of the Society and its programs.

Being a Board Member involves a few hours of time once a month
and no previous board member experience is required. All that is
required is a desire to ensure that the children continue to receive
the best possible care. Board Members are generally elected at
the Annual General Meeting held in June of each year, but may
join at any time.
