Director of Weston Village Senior Centre

I met Chiara many years ago when we were fighting to increase the minimum wage and make housing affordable for people in York South-Weston. She has made it a point to reach out to community members regarding their issues. I know she cares about this community and I know she’ll fight for change in YSW. Her tireless effort and support resonates within YSW, and we are glad to support her!

York South-Weston needs an energetic climate champion fighting for a sustainable future at City Hall, and that's Chiara. She's already been fighting for flooding mitigation and climate action as a member of the community, and I'm looking forward to what she will accomplish as City Councillor!

Chiara has supported us at our neighbourhood food bank for years. Whenever I've needed something I know I can call Chiara. When the pandemic hit and food insecurity skyrocketed, Chiara helped us stay safe by making sure we had PPE, getting us access to vaccines as essential workers and helping us get emergency funding to respond to the dramatic increase in need. She works hard and really cares about this community.

Chiara was my "big sister" growing up. Though she was assigned to me, she was always there for my siblings too. Even a decade later she still checks in and offers a helping hand - most recently setting up vaccines appointments for us and our grandmother!

Dessa Jeremiah

Brookhaven resident

I know Chiara because she was my son's soccer coach at the York Jets. I can tell she really cares about the young people in our community because she already volunteers her time to build a positive future for them. She's good people and exactly who we need at City Council.

Jacqueline Estrada

Brookhaven resident

I've been delivering food hampers to seniors in our community since the pandemic started. When Chiara found out our program was at risk of shutting down, she connected us with the community resources we needed to keep going. She was there for us then and she'll be there for us when she's our City Councillor.

Johnny Dib

Mount Dennis resident

What I respect about Chiara is that even when it's not election time she is acting in smart and effective ways to improve our community. Whether it's building a community skating rink, bringing vaccines to thousands of frontline workers or organizing to prevent a neighbour's eviction, she gets things done. This is who I want as a City Councillor.

Heather Leich

Mount Dennis resident

I know Chiara because she helped us form a tenant association in my building. I know she'll fight for tenant rights and affordable housing in York South-Weston because she fought for me and my kids when our housing was at risk. She doesn't give up, and she gets results.

Alan Martucci

Beechborough-Greenbrook resident

I have know Chiara for a number of years and I have seen her here front and centre supporting people and fighting for what is right for our community. She is someone that you can trust and count on to be there, not only when times are good like at a community celebration or event, but also when times are tough - when you're facing an eviction, worried about COVID or a community safety issue. For example, she helped me get a much-needed traffic light installed at Trethewey and Paulson for pedestrian safety. When we elect her as our City Councillor, I know she'll continue doing what she does best - helping people in our community.

Laurie Mace

Weston resident

I'm supporting Chiara because she's in this for all the right reasons - to lift us all up. She has proven her commitment to all residents of York South-Weston. She understands our challenges, and her actions, passion and commitment have shown results.

Carrie Perreault

I met Chiara in the winter of 2020 when I reached out to her about tenant organizing and how we might prevent some of our neighbours from a potential eviction. She guided and spent evenings teaching us what and how different types of tenant and mutual aid groups have organized. Her generosity and guidance led the tenants in our building to form one of the strongest tenant associations in the City during the pandemic. She continues to provide resources and opportunities to help care for the most vulnerable amongst us and champions all the different ways we come together to connect and make meaning in our lives. I cannot wait for Chiara to be our City Councillor so her boots-on-the-ground approach can help provide security, accessibility and more significant equity for all residents of Toronto.
