As we mark three years of this City Council term, it’s a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come together and to continue shaping the path ahead. My priorities remain grounded in what I hear directly from you — at your doorstep, on the phone, at community events, in council meetings, and through digital channels.
Thank you to my council colleagues, city staff, and my dedicated team for their continued hard work and collaboration. Most importantly, thank you to the residents of Brampton for your ongoing engagement and trust as we work toward building a stronger, brighter future for our city. To review what we did last year please visit Mid-term Review and for the first year review click here.
Casework
When you contact my office for a specific issue or concern that needs follow-up, we open a new case and track it to closure. The cases provide us with an opportunity to proactively address issues, update our website, and work on motions and bylaws. The number of cases are from start of term till date. (Please find date of update of the article at the bottom.)
Motions
As a Municipal Councillor, the primary way that I get the City of Brampton to make changes on how it operates, the services it provides, and the work that is done for residents is to bring forward and vote on motions that direct the city in a certain direction. For example, each year, the major motion relates to the city’s budget and tax rate as proposed by the Mayor. Once passed, it is the responsibility of the city’s employees to adhere to the budget, collect the necessary taxes, and provide the services outlined in the budget.
I can also vote on motions presented by other Councillors, and they can vote on motions that I work on. Motions require a lot of work, community input, discussions/feedback with city employees and agreement from my council colleagues.
The motions that I have championed over the past 3 years address the casework and feedback we hear daily from residents. They also address key priorities that I shared prior to being elected as a Councillor, and issues that have been raised since.
Major Motions Championed - 2025
Residential Rental Licensing Program: City-Wide Expansion and Provincial Advocacy
The motion passed on November 24, 2025 calls for the citywide implementation of Brampton’s Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) Program. The expanded program ensures landlords across all wards obtain licenses, comply with municipal and provincial regulations, maintain property standards, and meet fire safety requirements through proactive inspections and escalating penalties for repeated violations.

We are standing up for Brampton’s businesses by responding proactively to U.S. tariff threats. We are protecting local jobs, supporting manufacturers, and strengthening our city’s role in national trade to keep Brampton’s economy strong and resilient.

Downtown Revitalization
I’ve been a strong advocate for the multiple downtown projects and have worked as a Board member of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). We successfully initiated projects to revitalize the Downtown Brampton area, enhancing public spaces, improving green infrastructure, and supporting sustainable urban development.
Economic Development
Brampton is booming, and I am proud to support local businesses and help attract new investment as Vice-Chair of the Economic Development Committee. I was thrilled to represent and advocate on Brampton’s behalf at an International Climate Conference in Germany, to which I was invited by the German Government. This summit focused on innovative waste management, and my participation came at no cost to Brampton taxpayers. The insights and training gained will help strengthen our local services and advance sustainable, effective solutions for our community. While international missions may not always bring immediate announcements, they build relationships, open doors, and create long-term opportunities for our businesses, workers, and residents. My priority remains ensuring Brampton has a strong voice in global discussions that shape our future while respecting every taxpayer dollar.
Road Safety
* This is not the comprehensive list of all projects, this list will be updated regularly.
Roads that prioritize safety and mobility for all users has been an important priority for me at City Council and Regional Council. We’ve worked closely with residents and neighbourhood groups to implement traffic calming measures across Wards 1 & 5, including speed cushions, Automated Speed Enforcement cameras in community safety zones,

Arts & Culture
A thriving arts and culture sector in Brampton is very important to engage residents, attract visitors and provide economic opportunity.
The Brampton Arts Organization (BAO) has rapidly transformed Brampton’s cultural landscape, aligning with the city’s Vision 2040 goals of fostering a thriving, diverse arts ecosystem.
Key Achievements
- Brampton Arts Organization continues to grow leaps and bounds in supporting the local arts community.
- In 2025, BAO:
- Launched new low-cost studio rentals for artists and expanded their free artist residency program.
- Offered over 120 free public events, workshops, and sessions (that’s over 2 a week!).
- Welcomed over 5,000 participants and developed new streams of programming for newcomers, Indigenous artists, local students, and more.
- Opened 30 paid calls to local artists (nearly double 2024!).
- Supported hundreds of Brampton artists through paid opportunities.
Advocacy Nationally
As Chair of the FCM Finance, Infrastructure and Transportation Committee at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) I proudly adovocate for the needs of municipalities across Canada, particularly Brampton.
Santos Youth Council
Mentoring and providing opportunities for our local young people to grow, learn skills and be ambassadors for our city is a major priority for me. We’ve grown from zero to 322 active youth who we can call on to help local organizations and initiatives. We hosted 10 Youth Council Events and provided 6 Guided City Hall Tours this year.
We also provide co-op and summer job opportunities for those that show interest, grit and a genuine desire to make a difference. Our most recent co-op and summer student, Felicia Pagulayan is now a Prime Minister at her school.
Customer Service Survey
I initiated a Customer Service Survey to give residents a direct voice in shaping how the City of Brampton delivers frontline services. The survey invites residents to share their experiences when contacting the City, whether through 311, a City department, or Council, and to identify areas where improvements can are needed.
Walkabouts 2025
This year, I carried out 16 walkabouts throughout my ward, working side-by-side with residents to assess local issues and opportunities. A few of these community walks are highlighted below as they provide a snapshot of how different parts of our ward are doing, and help me understand how we can make things better together.
