Candidate for Councillor - Ward 20 (Scarborough Southwest)

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

  • Immediate temporary shelter plus support finding permanent housing for anyone experiencing homelessness.
