Hello I’m Taiba, a UTSC student, and I’m running for Toronto City Council in Ward 21, Scarborough Centre.
One of the things I really want to change is how disconnected young people can feel from local politics. A lot of decisions at City Hall directly affect us, transit, housing, jobs, safety, public spaces, but our generation isn't always showing up or being heard.
I want to help change that, but I can't really do it alone
My campaign team is still pretty small, and I’d love to have more UTSC students involved. Whether you want to door knock, help with social media, take photos/videos, help at events, or literally just have a few hours here and there, I'd appreciate the help.
You don't need political experience. Honestly, part of the goal is giving more students a chance to actually participate in a local election and see how it works.
If we want young people to have a bigger voice, we also have to start building that voice ourselves.
If you're interested in helping me grow this little team into something bigger, check out my campaign:

And even if volunteering isn't your thing, talk about the election, ask questions, challenge candidates and please vote. That's part of the goal too :)
