PHONE NUMBER: 647-981-5674
What key issues define your campaign platform?
Toronto is one of the greatest cities in the world. Toronto’s families and businesses deserve safe neighbourhoods and a first-rate transit system. I am fighting for a more affordable Toronto for all, especially our families and calling for an efficient and expanded TTC with rapid transit on Eglinton now. I will demand the high quality services we need and deserve and bring a new approach to the way business is conducted at City Hall. I will work together with the community to fix City Hall.
Why are you the best candidate for this position?
My combination of business experience, in the financial and infrastructure sectors, and my community service would be an asset to the community and Toronto City Hall. I will bring new leadership and ideas to City Hall. I was born and raised in this great City and am proud to be raising my three young boys in Toronto. I believe that we need fresh and new candidates and councillors in this community and at City Hall and that I can bring this fresh perspective.
What specifically do you plan to do for your ward, if elected?
Fight for rapid transit on Eglinton now!
Press for improved access to Yorkdale subway station at Ranee Ave
Work to reduce congestion on Allen Rd and keep it 100% Expressway
Call for Local health centre expansion for seniors and children
Establish a Citizens Development Review Taskforce
Convene a Councillor’s Advisory Committee that meets regularly across the ward
