one month to go

One month from now we will all be asked to go to the polls to cast a vote for Mayor, Councillor and School Board Trustee.I would like to be the person that you send to Toronto City Hall as your City Councillor for Ward 13.While this is my first time running for City Council, I feel that I have the passion and experience to represent Ward 13 at City Hall and deal with the issues, questions and concerns that impact us every day.My experience as Director of Housing at the University of Toronto and in Student Affairs/Housing at Wilfrid Laurier and the University of Waterloo provided me with the opportunity to support and empower students while working with various departments that seemed to have competing goals. I was held accountable to both sides in the university and needed to find ways to make sure that all needs were heard and addressed.In the last 7 years I have been the Executive Director and Fundraiser of a The Student Life Education Company, a national not for profit that works with high schools to empower youth to stop impaired driving and also works with College and University students to support them in healthy choices around alcohol and other health issues. In this position I have learned that partnerships make anything possible and that a shortage of money does not mean a shortage of great work and progress.I think my experience makes me the best candidate to represent you in ward 13 - and on November 13th I hope you will agree - and vote Frances Wdowczyk for city council.
