Food Security
No resident of Thorold should go hungry. Even before election day, I will work toward establishing a community food bank accessible to everyone in need, with dignity and without judgment.

Meet Asad
A neighbour who shows up
Asad Mahmood has spent years serving residents, supporting families, and helping newcomers find their footing in Thorold.
As an imam and community leader, he has worked with people of every background and faith — and he believes local government works best when every resident feels represented and respected.
Priorities
Practical work for a growing city
Thorold is changing fast. These priorities reflect what residents raise most often — kept local, kept honest, and focused on value for your money.
Responsible Use of Tax Dollars
Residents work hard for their money and deserve confidence that it's being spent wisely. I will push for greater accountability, thoughtful planning, and transparency in municipal spending — ensuring projects are properly planned so residents receive real value for every dollar invested.
Housing Affordability
Thorold should remain a place where working families, young people, seniors, and first-time homebuyers can afford to call home. I will support responsible development, encourage occupancy of vacant homes, and advocate for practical solutions that expand housing availability for all residents.
Stronger Support During Emergencies
When Thorold residents face flooding, power outages, extreme weather, or other emergencies, they deserve to know their community stands with them. I will advocate for stronger emergency response, clearer communication with residents, and meaningful support for families affected by local emergencies.
A City Council That Listens
Every resident of Thorold deserves to be heard — whether you've called this community home for generations or just moved here. I will work to make City Hall more accessible, listen to residents before key decisions are made, and ensure every voice in our community is represented.
Inclusion & representation
Everyone deserves a seat at the table
Thorold is home to people of different ages, cultures, faiths, and life experiences. A council that listens to all of them makes better decisions for all of them.
