What Ward 13 is telling us
These are the themes coming through loudest as our team knocks on doors across Ward 13.
Safer communities
Residents want safer streets through better maintenance, prevention, mental health supports, and accountability.
Affordability
Neighbours are feeling the squeeze of rising costs and want a councillor who will fight to lower everyday expenses.
Rent-to-own and a pathway to home ownership
Renters want a real municipal strategy that helps them build equity and own a home without leaving their community.
A community leader who shows up.
Respect for people. Respect for communities. Respect for the dignity of every resident.
Regent Park is my home. I live with my family here. I've worked hard as a community activist to ensure my neighbours throughout Toronto Centre have a voice!
I'm running to be your City Councillor because housing, unjust rental evictions, food insecurity, youth employment and senior care need to be taken seriously! I will be your advocate at City Hall to ensure these priorities are addressed!
Communities matter! I'm proud of leading the Regent Park Social Development Plan as Co-Chair. I helped to secure $26.8 million in community benefits for our ward. I also led the fight at all levels of government to keep affordable housing income-based, not market-priced, so housing is within reach for our families who call Toronto Centre home!
I'm running to be your voice and will only be successful if we work on the priorities we establish together. That's why my campaign starts on your block, at your kitchen table, and at your community centre. Listening first and following through are key to our success.
Read his storyRespect means investment. Respect means action.
Respect is more than a word. It's a commitment. It means listening to residents, investing in people, creating real opportunities, and making sure no one is left behind.
Housing is a Human Right
Build housing tied to people's incomes, not market speculation. Stop renovictions, demovictions, and financialization.
Invest in Communities
Safer neighbourhoods start with investment, not neglect. Expand Social Development Plans citywide.
Access to Space
Community space is essential infrastructure. Protect, expand, and build it for everyone.
Good Jobs & Youth Opportunity
Opportunity shouldn't be seasonal. Launch a city-run Youth Works Program, paid internships, co-ops, apprenticeships.
Food Security for All
No child, senior, or family should go hungry. Back universal school meals and community food hubs.
Climate Justice & Green Communities
Climate action that protects the people already feeling it first. Max heat bylaw, tree canopy, retrofit without renovictions.
