7.\u00a0What does Mississauga currently excel at?
I was proud to support enhanced snow clearing services in the first budget that I voted on as councillor, and the feedback from residents on that initiative has been fantastic. And of course, I am always inspired by our diverse faith and cultural groups, and the wide number of festivals and activities that we get to enjoy thanks to many of those groups. And while I know every city, including Mississauga, has challenges, I would argue that there’s nowhere else I would rather live!<\/p>\n
8.\u00a0How would you communicate with residents and what communication standards will you be setting and following?
I’m proud of the new types of community engagement we have brought to Ward 5 in just two years. Feedback has been consistently excellent on our neighbourhood-level events, which let people meet their neighbours and me in smaller settings with a couple hundred people rather than the usual political barbeques with thousands of people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am also proud to have hosted issue-specific town halls all across Ward 5, on topics ranging from community safety, the city budget and neighbourhood-specific development projects.<\/p>\n
Every day we build our email list so we can reach residents quickly on issues that are relevant to them and the specific community they live in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I also hosted a tele-town hall on public safety, and I look forward to expanding those initiatives in my next term to better reach even more residents.<\/p>\n
Of course, all of the above is on top of the newsletters that both the city and region support me in sending to all residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"7.\u00a0What does Mississauga currently excel at?I was proud to support enhanced snow clearing services in the first budget…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":875720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194297],"tags":[49,48,55405],"class_list":["post-875719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mississauga","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mississauga"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=875719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/875720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=875719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=875719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=875719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
