As your next City Councillor, I will deliver

Safer Streets

Zero tolerance for hate crimes. Hire 1,000 more Toronto Police officers. Invest in front-line workers and community care. Strengthen youth supports, mental health services, and community programs. Expand addiction recovery and treatment centres across Toronto. No city-funded drug kits. No more injection sites.

Less Traffic

Fix gridlock improving infrastructure and planning on key corridors—including the Allen Rd Expressway. Keep bike lanes off major streets, and deliver a safer, cleaner, reliable TTC you can count on—on time.

Lower Costs

Two-year tax freeze. Capped budget. Full audit. Less waste, less red tape. Smarter technology, better service. Term limits and real accountability—so you keep more of your money.

My Vision

For too long, residents have faced rising costs, frustrating gridlock, and decisions at City Hall that feel disconnected from the people they impact. It's time to change that.

My campaign is built on three principles: transparency, accountability, and efficiency.

That means being open about how decisions are made, ensuring every dollar of your tax money is justified, and delivering real results—without waste, delays, or excuses.

From easing congestion and improving daily commutes to keeping neighbourhoods safe, clean, and well-serviced, the focus is simple: make this community—and this city—work better for the people who live here.

We will push for smarter transit planning that actually moves people, cut red tape to support responsible growth and housing, and bring a disciplined approach to spending so residents are not asked to pay more for less.

Eglinton–Lawrence is a community of families, professionals, and small businesses who expect better—and deserve better.

With your support, I will deliver fresh leadership and real results that matter to you.

Transparent decisions. Accountable leadership. Efficient government.

Let's build a Toronto that works—starting right here in Eglinton–Lawrence.
