Welcome to my website!

Dear Friends,

Welcome to my website. I hope this site is easy to navigate, informative and fun!

As City Councillor for Ward 14, I’m delighted by the work we have accomplished so far. All over the Ward community activists and volunteers continue to work with me on projects that benefit all of us. In this website you’ll see how we improved park spaces, spearheaded Planning initiatives to help shape our neighbourhoods, advocated for better access to the Waterfront, fought for affordable housing, and much, much more. All of this could not be done without my hardworking staff: Amy, Shana, Meri and Chantille who work every day to ensure that your questions are answered and you are connected with the services you need.

I’ve also included many items that may be of interest to you, such as a Ward calendar, updates on Council meetings and “The Park Post” which gives you weekly updates into some of the work I’ve been doing and events that are happening across the ward. Feel free to subscribe (hit “The Park Post” tab, then “Subscribe by email” to get these updates sent directly to your email address).

You’ll also get information on the various committees that I sit on. I am Vice-Chair of the City's Parks and Environment Committee, with responsibility for the environment. As a member of the Budget Committee I have advocated for current and proposed services, parks and facilities that the people of Ward 14 continue to ask for.

I have also been appointed to Toronto’s Board of Health, Toronto Hydro, the Toronto Atmospheric Fund, the Toronto Arts Council, Artscape, Exhibition Place, and the Boards of local Business Improvement Areas.
