Glenn has delivered the goods for Scarborough Centre!
One new library in the works
To ensure Scarborough gets its fair share, Glenn
fought for a new library, which will soon be built
in the heart of our community at the Civic Centre.
Three new splash pads built
Local kids will have hours of summer fun, thanks
to three new splash pads in our ward. Glenn raised
funds for these and two more that are on the way!
Five new parks and one dog park created
Because of Glenn’s hard work and green vision,
Scarborough Centre has six new parks – five for
humans and a leash-free one that is just being
completed for dogs!
Seven local job fairs organized
Glenn and Councillor Michael Thompson have
hosted seven annual job fairs, bringing thousands
of job-seekers together with dozens of employers.
Eighty-three roads repaved
As works chair, Glenn pushed for a $37 million boost
to the city’s annual road repair budget, ensuring that
eighty-three streets in our ward were repaved.
Over 120 community events organized
For seven years, Glenn has helped our community
celebrate the seasons, with parties, picnics, compost
days and movies in the park. And he found corporate
sponsors to pay most of the bills, so you don’t have to.
Over 300 new police officers hired
To tackle crime head on, Glenn supported the hiring
of 322 new Toronto police officers, making our city
one of the safest in North America.
Thousands of residents helped
From potholes and messy plazas to absentee landlords
and dangerous dogs, Glenn and his team have
helped thousands of residents solve problems that
greatly impacted their quality of life.
Seven thousand trees planted
Our city’s getting greener, thanks to Glenn’s push for
more trees across Toronto, with 7,000 of them being
planted in the streets and parks of our ward.
$4.6 million found in a forgotten bank account
Acting on a tip from long-time residents, Glenn spent
months digging through city records to track down a
fund that was lost when the mega-city was created.
Now, money that should have been invested in our
community years ago is benefiting a local day care,
local playgrounds and our animal centre.
Results you can count. A councillor you can count on!
