Over the past weeks, I have met and spoken with many of you. I have heard your concerns.

As a fellow Etobicoke North resident, I get them.

Our conversations shaped my vison. We need communities that are affordable, safe, and well-connected with public transit. I will be a City Councillor who is not afraid to champion these issues.

 

Affordable housing for everyone and repairs to TCHC buildings
  • Advocate for all levels of government to reallocate more budget to housing.
  • Ensure upgrades in TCHC buildings to make them safe and livable.

 

More reliable and consistent TTC service to cut down commute times
  • Introduce more Express Buses to cut down long commutes.
  • Increase transit investment in Etobicoke North.
  • Ensure residents benefit from the Community Benefits Agreement from the Finch West LRT.

 

Being the voice of new immigrants
  • Help new immigrants land on a strong footing by strengthening programs to allow them practice their professions in Canada.
  • Support new immigrants navigate Canada's healthcare, education, employment, and legal system.

 

Fight poverty for families, seniors, and people of all ages
  • Provide more city-funded programs to take off the burden of rising cost of living.

 

Improve Public Safety and Security 
  • Support the police to build better relationships with the community, especially Black residents.
  • Have mental health professionals work with police in high crisis situations.

 

Tackling COVID-19
  • Tackle COVID-19 by working with local leaders, community groups, and health centres.
