This individual was acclaimed in the 2022 municipal election. In response to CLC's 2010 questionnaire, she argued that the role of a trustee is to implement whatever legislation the government tells it to, referring to McGuinty's dangerous, pro-homosexualist, "Equity & Inclusive Education Strategy" for the reason that schools rely on government funding. In CLC's opinion, that is a false and dangerous view for a candidate to take. The trustee is "entrusted" by parents with the responsibility of providing an education to their children. It is therefore implied that the morals and values of parents is to be respected. A good trustee candidate will publicly oppose and work to repeal McGuinty's dangerous EIE Strategy.

Trustee Shannon Mitchell's rating is based on the fact that she was a candidate for the NDP in the 2025 federal election, and official NDP policy is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideology.

She was acclaimed as a school board trustee in the 2022 municipal election. She did not respond to CLC's 2022 election survey at that time.
