Ward 18 Election Results

vic — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 21:36:45 +0000

The 2010 municipal election is finally over, after many months of non-stop campaigning. It sure was fun to watch, at times, and there were some heated moments in the Mayoral and Ward 18 Councillor races right down to the final moments of voting. Now it's time to look forward to what our new elected officials will bring us. Here are the local results taken from The City of Toronto's election results page:

Upcoming Ward 18 Debate in the JT - Help Wanted

vic — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:13:13 +0000

The South Perth and Sterling Road Residents Association is organizing another Ward 18 All Candidates debate, to be held on Perth Ave. This should be an excellent opportunity to hear from the candidates and help local Junction Triangle residents come closer to making a decision before the election. The organizers are looking for help, especially with coming up with a list of questions from the community, as well as finding an appropriate moderator. See the message below.

I have a favour to ask, The South Perth and Sterling Road Residents Association is hosting a final All Candidates Meeting on October the 14th at the Church of the First Born on Perth Avenue starting at 6:30, so far most all candidates have replied to a call for attendance.

I am looking for community based questions that can be presented and would like to get questions submitted to an email address set up just for this purpose, I'm not looking for questions from anonymous people and I would like the questions to be able to be asked of all candidates, so questions from people who can provide me with a name and call back # will get priority as I want to make sure that the question is clear (only I will have who the question is from and their contact info and I will call them a few days ahead to make sure that the question is clear!) I am looking for issues that residents of ward 18 are looking to get answers to (Maybe even some questions that have not yet been addressed).

I am also open to suggestions for a moderator, I have made a request of 1 potential moderator from outside of the riding but am open to other volunteers who may wish to contact me and let me know why they would want to be the moderator.

Please address questions & Moderator suggestions to :

Junction Triangle Municipal Election Issues Forum: Summary and Photos

Candidates' flyers

On Thursday, August 26th 2010, Boo' Radley's on Dupont St. hosted the Junction Triangle Municipal Election Issues Forum. This was a somewhat different take on an All Candidates meeting: Instead of a slate of candidates up on a stage talking down to an audience, this event encouraged candidates and voters to mingle amongst each other, having one-on-one conversations.

Six out of the ten registered candidates attended: Ana Bailao, Kevin Beaulieu, Doug Carroll, Nha Le, Joe MacDonald, and Hema Vyas. I didn't count, but I would roughly guess that about sixty residents came out.

I personally think the event went extremely well. Speaking with other neighbours at the event, it seemed there was a consensus that the event was worthwhile, and that voters had a good chance to learn more about the candidates. Thanks to the organizers, the Junction Triangle Rail Committee, and the gracious hosts Mike and Shelley from Boo Radley's.
