I was honoured to celebrate at the Consulate General of Israel in Toronto with Deputy Consul General Shani Azulia and members of the Jewish community, as well as local MP Laura Smith, York Region Mayors and Councillors.
Together we recognized Israel’s 77th Yom Ha’atzmaut, recognizing this important Independence Day Anniversary of the State of Israel.
In Richmond Hill our community is strengthened by the diversity we are fortunate to have. Especially in this Heritage Month, let’s take the time to honour and celebrate the heritage of our Jewish friends and neighbours.
As Mayor of Richmond Hill, I am honoured to serve the residents of this great city.
Working together with my City Council colleagues, City staff, residents, community groups, businesses, and officials from other levels of government, I am determined to always listen, and advocate for the best interests of Richmond Hill.
Ever since I volunteered on a community committee over 18 years ago, I have been actively engaged in working to support this vibrant and inclusive city. As Ward 4 Councillor for 8+ years, I developed a solid reputation as someone who works collaboratively across diverse groups. I am committed to bringing that balanced and practical perspective to the role of Mayor.
