⛈️ When it rains it floods 🌊
At least in Rockliffe-Smythe this is far too common. It’s one of the most flood-prone areas in Toronto. That’s why we’ve been organizing with residents to better protect our homes from basement flooding.
I spent some time with Rui who showed us the steps he’s taken since the last flood. As the future city councillor for York South-Weston, I’m going to continue supporting residents living in these high-risk areas.
If you’re a resident of York South-Weston and your basement is prone to flooding, get in touch via the link in my bio and stay tuned for more information.

Stay tuned for more!
Thank you, Nathaniel! Meechies is one of those gems that make our community so vibrant. It’s the kind of locally owned-and-operated small business I want to see thriving in York South-Weston. It’s time for change!

Joined thousands at Queens Park today to demand that Doug Ford stop privatizing our public hospitals and health care system!
Like my friend Heather, I ain’t no quitter. If you want to shake things up you better be prepared to go the distance.
Through my volunteer work at the Community Hub these past four years, I’ve learned that when we fight together we win together.
On October 26th we finish this fight and win this election. Visit the link in my bio to volunteer and support the campaign.
It’s time for change!

🔥They said I wouldn’t come close, we came within 94 votes. They said I was crazy, but this girl from York South-Weston ain’t no quitter! This time, we’re taking it over the finish line and then some.
You could feel the energy at our launch party and it’s the same energy I feel talking to my neighbours when I knock on doors. People want change. What they say is impossible is only impossible if you go at it alone. Together, we can make history.
