Join Me at October’s Community Events
Connecting with You Across Scarborough North This October
Dear friends and neighbours,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the change of season as the colours of fall start to arrive across our city. This time of year is always a reminder of how vibrant and resilient our Scarborough North community is, and October will give us several opportunities to meet, talk, and work together on the issues that matter most.
Throughout this month, I’ll be hosting a number of Pop-Up Office Hours at malls across the ward. These are open, informal sessions where you can stop by, say hello, and speak with me directly about any city-related concerns or ideas you’d like to share. Whether it’s a question about transit, community safety, housing, or local programs — this is your time to connect with me and my team in person.
