As the city filed it
In November 2024, I represented the City of Toronto at Good Roads' Queens Park Advocacy Days and served on the Board of Directors. During the Advocacy Days, I, along with other municipal representatives from across Ontario, advocated to Members of the Provincial Government, including Ministers.
