Priorities
Scarborough doesn’t get its fair share of the budget. That’s not a feeling – it’s in the numbers.
A 2014–2023 study commissioned by Scarborough Rotary clubs found that several of Toronto’s wealthy wards get 10 times more capital investment than all of Scarborough combined.
That’s why we need Neethan Shan, Scarborough’s Champion, re-elected as City Councillor in Scarborough – Rouge Park. He will make sure Scarborough gets its fair share.
