A week of celebration and support

It has been a week full of networking, campaigning and celebrating! I have been inspired by meeting people who want to make a difference in Toronto and around the world. These people reminded me why it was that I originally wanted to enter the municipal race.Running for City Council has me out and about like never before. If you have met me, you know that I was not exactly a quiet stay at home not get involved kind of person before the election, but now I am even more engaged in meeting people and hearing about their lives then I was before! I feel a connection to the community like never before. What a wonderful experience and gift to me.
I am really excited about making a difference in my community and my city. The best way to do this is from within, with integrity and the courage to find a way to move our city forward today – not someday.
Tonight my wonderful campaign team hosted a lovely fundraising event for the campaign. The night was full of friends and supports enjoying good food and conversation. Thank you to all of you who attended and for donating so generously. Your ongoing support and belief in me keeps me moving forward.My special thanks go to Ann, Rosa, Michelle, Stephen and Billi Jo for coordinating this great night. You are the best campaign team a person could ask for. Thanks so much for all you do to support me.Tomorrow we are out in the community knocking on doors and meeting you where you live. I look forward to seeing you.
