Feldman not running for re-election in Ward 10
admin | Tuesday, July 27th, 2010 | 1 Comment »Feldman, who has represented the Ward 10 community for the past 18 years, made the announcement that he would not be seeking re-election in a letter to his constituents over the weekend, and told members of the media on Tuesday morning.“Thanks for the memories,” wrote Feldman, “but it is now time to move on to my next career.”
Feldman was a councillor in the former City of North York, and after amalgamation in 1998 went on to represent his community on Toronto Council. He served for three years as one of Mayor David Miller’s deputy mayors, and has been an avid supporter of social housing.
In his letter, Feldman told constituents that he “always understood that the global needs of the city affect Ward 10 as much as what happens in Ward 10 affects the city as a whole. While my passion for the people of York Centre is as strong today as ever, clearly it is now someone else’s time to represent you.”
Seven candidates are currently registered to run in Ward 10, in the Oct. 25 municipal election.
- David Nickle
Is the incumbent of Ward 12 also throwing the towel?
He has served as long as Mike Feldman, who defeated him in the 2000 election in North York.
Congratuations to Mike Feldman and Thank you for many years of good service to the City.
Joe Renda
City Councillor Candidate Ward 12
