Here's a breakdown of what I found:\n\n---\n\n### 1. Heather Watt\u2019s Recent Appointment\nAccording to a recent announcement, Heather Watt has been appointed super\u00advisor of the Peel District School Board (PDSB). In reporting on this, she is described as a **management consultant** with over 20 years of leadership experience spanning government and private sectors, including health-related roles. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Brampton/comments/1rlpn01/ontario_names_supervisors_at_peel_district_and/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 2. Heather Watt\u2019s Past Role Under Christine Elliott\nHeather Watt was previously the **Chief of Staff to Christine Elliott**, during Elliott\u2019s tenure as Ontario\u2019s Minister of Health (2018-2022). This involved significant responsibilities: managing a ~$70 billion health-care budget and overseeing policy and operational matters across many parts of the health system (hospitals, public health, digital health, etc.). ([hollandbloorview.ca](https://hollandbloorview.ca/people/heather-watt?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 3. Matching Descriptions & Timelines\nThe description given of the newly appointed supervisor of PDSB matches the credentials of the former Chief of Staff:\n\n- Over 20 years of leadership across public and private sectors including health policy and strategy. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Brampton/comments/1rlpn01/ontario_names_supervisors_at_peel_district_and/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Specific prior work in crisis consulting, strategic roles in life sciences, health insurance, and other similar sectors. ([hollandbloorview.ca](https://hollandbloorview.ca/people/heather-watt?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n**Conclusion:** Based on these connections, the evidence strongly supports that the Heather Watt who\u2019s now been appointed supervisor of the Peel District School Board *is* the same Heather Watt who served as Chief of Staff under Christine Elliott. If you're interested, I can try to verify with direct statements or government sources to be 100% certain."
