Here is what I am
fighting for:

A Scarborough Southwest where you can afford your home, get where you are going, find good work, and count on city services that actually show up.

Protecting Tenants+

Homes we can afford. Too many of our neighbours are one rent increase away from having to leave. I will stand up for tenants, respect homeowners, and make sure working families, seniors, newcomers and young people can afford to stay in Scarborough Southwest.

  • I will fight renovictions and push for stronger bylaws so tenants are not forced out of their homes
  • I will support affordable and nonprofit housing in every neighbourhood
  • I will push RentSafeTO to enforce standards and support tenants here in Ward 20
  • I will back responsible development that adds homes while respecting the feel of our streets
  • I will fight for universal childcare, because for families it is an affordability issue, plain and simple
Safer Streets & Better Transit+

Buses that show up on Kingston Road and the Danforth. Streets where kids can get to school and the bus stop without worry. After years of construction and broken promises, that is not too much to ask.

  • I will push the TTC for more frequent, reliable buses on the routes we actually use
  • I will demand transparency and accountability on the Eglinton corridor. No more excuses
  • I will expand Vision Zero safety upgrades at busy intersections and school zones
  • I will work for safer routes to schools and transit stops for our kids and families
  • I will fight for better sidewalks, ramps and elevators so seniors and people with disabilities can get around
  • I will advocate for more WheelTrans service and fully accessible stations
Cleaner Neighbourhoods+

A neighbourhood that looks cared for. When garbage gets dumped in a park or a property falls apart, it should not take months to fix. Our streets and public spaces should be clean, in every corner of Ward 20.

  • I will push for bylaw enforcement that actually solves problems, and solves them quickly
  • I will fight for regular, reliable maintenance of our streets, parks and public spaces
  • I will demand faster response to illegal dumping, litter and graffiti
  • I will keep our roads, sidewalks and community facilities in good repair, in every neighbourhood
More Opportunities for Families & Youth+

Our fair share. Scarborough Southwest pays into this city, and it is time the city paid attention. I will champion more jobs, recreation, skills training and community programs, so every family and every young person here gets a fair shot.

  • I will bring employment services and job fairs right into the ward
  • I will support youth mentorship, vocational training and apprenticeships
  • I will expand access to the skilled trades through partnerships with unions and training centres
  • I will team up with local businesses, nonprofits and grassroots groups
  • I will turn our libraries into true community hubs with programs for all ages
  • I will push for city services in the languages we speak, with Community Resource Hubs that handle everything in one visit
  • I will invest in cultural centres that reflect Ward 20’s incredible diversity
  • I will push for crisis response and mental health support that is there around the clock
  • I will fight to close the gap between what downtown gets and what Scarborough gets

Where I Stand

Straight answers on the issues voters ask about most.

Homelessness

What will you do to reduce homelessness in the City?

I support the Dunn House model developed through the work of Dr. Andrew Boozary and the University Health Network. Dunn House combines affordable, permanent housing with on-site health care and social supports to help people experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives and remain housed.

While canvassing in Ward 20, I have spoken with residents who are concerned about new shelters opening in their neighbourhoods. When I explain the Dunn House model, which provides people with access to appropriate supports, those residents become more comfortable with the approach. The Dunn House model provides a pathway out of homelessness and could help save our healthcare system millions of dollars if it were implemented more broadly.

I will advocate for expanding this model across Toronto, working with the City, provincial and federal governments, hospitals, and community organizations to provide more supportive housing. We need solutions that help people leave homelessness permanently, reduce pressure on emergency rooms and shelters, and build stronger communities.

Cost of Living

What will you do to make the City more affordable?

I am committed to opposing property tax increases in Scarborough Southwest. Families, seniors, and small businesses are already struggling with rising costs, and City Hall must do more to control spending and find better ways to fund essential services.

I support exploring city-run grocery stores in Scarborough to help make basic groceries more affordable and improve access to fresh, healthy food. I will push for a practical plan that examines costs, locations, and how these stores could best serve our communities.

I also want the City to explore other revenue sources instead of continually increasing property taxes. This includes reviewing permitted parking opportunities where appropriate to generate additional revenue while maintaining safe streets and access for residents.

I will oppose costly vanity projects that do little to address residents' needs. For example, renaming Yonge-Dundas Square was estimated to cost up to $800,000, while Scarborough continues to need investment in transit, infrastructure, and essential services. I believe public money should be directed toward priorities that make a real difference in people's lives.

My approach is simple: control unnecessary spending, explore responsible new revenue sources, protect residents from higher property taxes, and focus City Hall's resources on affordability, reliable transit, and the services our communities depend on.

A plan is a promise with a deadline.
