Ontario Liberal Candidate for Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill
To begin, please tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a labour, employment & human rights lawyer who was born and raised in Richmond Hill, Ontario. I’ve been a volunteer and advocate in my community for many years and love living in one of the most diverse, tight-knit communities in Ontario.
Can you please briefly describe your political journey?
It started with volunteering. I’ve been involved in my community since I was a teenager when I volunteered for then Member of Parliament, Bryon Wilfert. It really started with setting up barbecues, sitting at registration desks and handing out paper plates. There are so many organizations and causes in every community that could use a helping hand and sometimes just showing up is the best way to get involved.

UNTTLD (Simon Belanger)
Luxurious, domineering, and vibrant – three words that solidly define UNTTLD’s incredible showcase of their F/W 2018 collection at Toronto Fashion Week. Adorned with black headdresses (or hats), the models that graced Yorkville Village’s runway flaunted boldcoloured velvet dresses and boss-lady outfits. Since 2011, designer duo Simon Belanger and Jose Manuel Jacques have been creating lux pieces that reflect on masculine feminity to emphasize the capabilities and desires of the modern woman. We had the opportunity to speak to Simon shortly after the show about their one-of-a-kind collection that is truly one to reminisce.

She is an injury expert and recognized for her innovative approaches to performance optimization and injury rehabilitation. We got a chance to ask her all about how and why she founded her facility.
