Thorncliffe Neighborhood Office: But it will be up to the citys community development and recreation committee to decide on May 23 what to do about it, according to The Star. With approximately 250,000 permanent residents in the city, changing the rules around who is eligible to vote could have huge political ramifications come election day potentially changing the faces of council members and perhaps even the mayor and Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong is vehemently opposed to it. Thorncliffe Neighborhood Office executive director Jehad Aliweiwi is in favour of it.
