Working to deliver results that work.

After you elected me to serve and represent you as your city councillor, I rolled up my sleeves and got right to work.

You sent me to City Hall to make our neighbourhoods more vibrant, liveable, safe, and commutable. We’re seeing results take shape, and from here on in, the progress will be increasingly tangible.

New and better transit is on the way, along with new affordable housing, new infrastructure, new neighbourhood amenities, improved safety measures, cleaner communities initiatives, and new supports for small businesses.

Our community is the most dynamic area of Toronto, and it's ours to treasure. There's much more to do, and much more to deliver.

Stay connected with me: sign up for email updates, including news about what’s happening around our ward.

I’m working hard for you – and for all of our neighbourhoods and communities.

Big Tick Energy: Help Prevent Lime Disease!

As we enjoy the warmer weather and explore the outdoors, remember to keep yourself and your pets safe from tick bites. Ticks are tiny but can transmit disease such as Lyme, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Powassan virus. Toronto is considered an established risk area for blacklegged ticks with 53 per cent of ticks testing positive for at least one reportable tickborne disease. The good news is that you can prevent ticks from getting attached to you or your dog at home or in the wild.

July 2025 Encampment Update
