Putting the neighbour
in neighbourhood
“I am running for city council because I have long loved Toronto, cracks and all. But now those cracks have deepened. And we must not only fix the fault lines, but we must also rebuild with integrity and ensure that our communities are healthy, equitable, and inclusive.”
Putting the neighbour in neighbourhood

As co-founder of The AppleTree Group, a social enterprise that grows healthy neighbourhoods, Lesley is committed to bringing fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to address the city’s pressing challenges and build a more vibrant, inclusive Toronto for all.

Lesley's focus on connecting the diverse neighbourhoods of Ward 15 balances vision with pragmatism. What makes for a healthier, friendlier city?
1. Improving food security in lower-income areas.
2. Championing change-makers to take civic action.
3. Bettering pedestrian and cyclist safety.
4. Evaluating municipal development with a careful review of both thoughtful design and requisite infrastructure before approval.
Lesley's realistic and action-oriented approach speaks to what a city councillor can effectively improve -- both for Ward 15 and for Toronto at large.
