Content
The @TDSB_Media Twitter account is managed by Media Relations staff within the Communications and Public Affairs Department and is intended to be a source of information for media outlets.
If you follow us, you can expect tweets about some or all of the following:
- Media advisories and/or media releases
- Class cancellations and/or school closures
- Suggestions for possible story ideas
- Occasional live coverage of events
This account does not replace the main @TDSB Twitter account as a source of information, but is intended to complement it with information directed entirely to the media.
Availability
Media Relations staff will update and monitor the Twitter account during office hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. However, if an event requires live coverage outside of regular hours, a staff member will tweet as much as possible to keep media aware of the situation. Twitter service may occasionally be unavailable and the Ðǿմ«Ã½ accepts no responsibility for lack of service due to Twitter downtime.
@Replies and Direct Messages
While we welcome questions/requests from members of the media, we may not be able to reply individually to all messages received on Twitter.
Should members of the media have any questions/requests, they are encouraged to contact Media Relations staff at MediaInquiries@Ðǿմ«Ã½.on.ca or (416) 395-2721.
In the event of a major emerging or live breaking issue, we will not be able to respond to @replies and DMs from members of the media. They are strongly encouraged to contact Media Relations staff by e-mail or phone.
