Don Valley West: Visible Minorities

Minority Candidates Dept: From one end of the city to the other, female and minority candidates are running competitively in at least a dozen ward races. If even a handful are elected, it will mean a significantly more diverse council come next year, according to The Star. That may soon change and a female doctor of Somali heritage is getting attention in Etobicoke North. A Muslim candidate is running strong against a veteran incumbent in Don Valley West. And two gay Chinese candidates are slugging it out in Toronto-Centre Rosedale. Toronto s motto may be Diversity Our Strength, but you wouldn t know it looking at the 44 councillors only nine women, and four people from visible minorities currently representing the city. As reported in the news.
