“There is a level of pride in Scarborough and it is kind of understated…Scarborough is tired of being kicked in the teeth. Scarborough gets put down usually by people who don’t live here and talk about Scarborough in disparaging terms, which is not fair and not warranted…Scarborough got the short end of the stick, it touched a nerve.” –Larry Whatmore

Scarborough-Agincourt
Needs Change
My name is Sindia. I live and breathe politics. It affects our everyday lives. From the time I started my education, I have been a part of the student council since elementary to law school. I happened to win 80% of the vote in my last election. As someone who was raised and resides in Scarborough-Agincourt, I felt it was about time I stepped up for the community that helped shape me into the person I am today. I was actually born in the ward at Scarborough Grace Hospital.
I have attended 3 schools in Scarborough-Agincourt (Highland Heights, John Buchan, L’Amoreaux) and commuted from here for university and Osgoode. No one understands the issues this ward has been facing better than someone who only has this place to call as home.

Why Am I Running?
Why Should You Vote?
I was told in law school that I should become a politician. I knew serving the greater community was my calling and have been informally doing it for our ward, but never really considered a career in politics. I worked many years in Corporate Governance as an Executive Legal Consultant; tackling an array of problems that affected our neighbourhood, before I found the courage to put my name forward for this election after the many years of stagnancy we have experienced. Issues surrounding housing instability, unreliable transit, and food scarcity are matters that not only have I fought for, but have been exposed to first-hand. When you have lived the experience, you become an advocate for the issue.
We are privileged to live in a country where we are given the opportunity to vote for our leaders. The last election that happened in Scarborough-Agincourt had a record turnout. I ask everyone in this ward to not overlook their civic duty and help elect a competent leader this time around for the municipal level. My website has been set up to help constituents make an informed vote. We cannot see change if we do not vote for it. The election in this ward is more important than the ones happening in other wards and I need you to care enough to make an informed vote. If you feel I am the best candidate, on October 26, please remember the name and vote #109 on the ballot. I would not be running if I did not feel I could not offer something invaluable compared to the rest. I will be the last one on the list since they always save the best for last!

Make Your Vote Count
16,831 ballots were cast by Scarborough-Agincourt constituents in the last municipal election. There were 65,416 eligible voters. This means approximately 25.7% of us made our voices heard. That is about 1 in 4 people. The incumbent councillor was supported by only 5% of the ward’s eligible voters in the 2021 by-election. He is now riding off of incumbent advantage. However, you have options.
Make sure you make an informed vote by exploring my website.
