Abdullah Mir

My name is Abdullah Mir and I am running to be your city councillor for Ward 1. I’m a community builder and an advocate for residents.

 

I have called the Rougemount community home for the last decade, and I’ve spent years working alongside neighbours to make our community stronger by co-founding the Rougemount Community and Recreation Association, serving on the Pickering Public Library Board, helping iTrust Community Centre find a permanent home on Kingston Road, and leading the fight against sprawl development during the Greenbelt scandal that would have lined developers’ pockets while sticking residents like us with higher property taxes for decades as co-chair of Stop Sprawl Durham.

 

I’m running for city council because I believe Pickering should be a place you can afford to live, feel safe, and be proud of at every stage of life.

 

That means strong, healthy neighbourhoods where families can put down roots, seniors can grow old close to the people they love, and kids have parks and programs to thrive. It means attracting local businesses that grow our economy and ease the burden on residential property taxes. And it means planning growth with the infrastructure to support it. That also means having a councillor who listens to residents before decisions get made.

 

This election isn’t about me, its about you and the community you want to build.

 

Over the next 6 months, I will be visiting every household in this ward to talk to you directly. In the meantime, I want to hear from you; please use the contact form on this website, email me at votemirward1@gmail.com or call me at 289-992-3647.

 

I can’t wait to meet you all and hear from you. We can build a stronger city together.

 

I’m here to work for you!
