Response from Sam Robinson
Hello Leaside Residents,
Thank you for your email.
“by the people, for the people“,- I couldn’t agree with you more!
In fact the following are some direct quotes that are right up front in my campaign materials (brochure, website etc.):
“I am running because I believe in transparent and community-based decision- making.
I want to help and listen to YOU!
Together, we can continue Jaye Robinson’s vision for a safer, greener, and more livable Don Valley West and Toronto!”

And
“Community Voice and City Vision
With a steadfast commitment to transparency and community consultation, I will ensure that the voices of Ward 15 residents are heard and shape decisions. By actively listening to the community and prioritizing their needs, we can create a more inclusive, safe and liveable city.”
Also, attached for your reference is my statement on why I am running.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or would like to meet to discuss further.
Thanks again for your engagement.

Candidate for Toronto City Council
