Hi,
I’m Toronto
City Councillor Norm Kelly.
I have the privilege of looking
after 60,000 people living in 20,000 homes, spread across 10
communities in Ward 40, Scarborough-Agincourt.
I am also
charged – with 44 other people in Canada ’s 6th largest government – with running the
5th largest city in North America .
A
Hollywood
movie star once said that “It was hard work
becoming a star but it’s even harder work remaining a
star”.
That’s
Toronto today. With a lot of hard work by
immigrants over the past 200 years Toronto has emerged as
Canada’s municipal star.
But we
no sooner became a Canadian Star then the context that facilitated
our rise changed so that we now compete for success with
international stars – some of them established old stars like
Chicago and Hong
Kong and some of them new, like
Shanghai
and Charlotte, North
Carolina .
In short, unlike some, I
don't believe that Toronto is
a city in decline. But
it is at the crossroads.
And the decisions made by Councillors and the members of the
other orders of government will go a long way to determine the
future prosperity of our city and the quality of life in our
communities.
This website is an effort to outline my
thoughts and proposals that will help you identify our challenges
and choose among our responses.
I hope you find this exercise
informative and enjoyable.
Sincerely,
Norm
Kelly
