After a short stint leading the Ontario Liberals, Bonnie Crombie is looking to get her old job back as mayor of Mississauga, Ont.<\/p>\n

Crombie wrote to supporters in a message obtained by The Canadian Press that she intends to register as a mayoral candidate on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

She will be up against incumbent mayor Carolyn Parrish, as well as other candidates that include city councillors Alvin Tedjo and Dipika Damerla.<\/p>\n

Crombie served as Mississauga’s mayor for a decade before leaving midway through her third term in 2024 to lead the Ontario Liberals.<\/p>\n

She stepped down from that role early this year following lukewarm support in a vote at the party’s 2025 annual general meeting, after a snap provincial election that saw Crombie fail to win a seat in the legislature.<\/p>\n

Crombie first entered politics at age 47 after a long business career and has also served as a Liberal MP and Mississauga city councillor.<\/p>\n
