For a long time, she has felt that she would like to contribute to this diverse community, with its waterfronts and farmlands, and in a meaningful way.
“I wanted to dip my feet in, with a councillor position, but the more I talked about it, the more people convinced me that I have what it takes to run for deputy mayor,” said Thom.
