Elect Magda Gondor Berkovits

Open letter to Constituents of York Centre Ward 10

Dear friends and neighbours,

I am once more requesting your support for the want to be your position of City Councillor for Ward 10, York Centre.

I was born in Hungary to parents who were both survivors of the Holocaust. As a small child I came to Canada with my mother and brother as refugees of the Hungarian Revolution. I am a product of our great country and city and the philosophy of contributing to my adopted country is very much on my mind and is why I am seeking public office.

I am a mother of a son who spent most of his life here and is still a resident of Ward 10 and I am the daughter of a senior citizen mother living four doors from me and a brother inhabiting a house five streets from us. Our closest family including my son, mother and brother are many decades long Ward 10 residents with deep roots in this community.

If I am elected to serve you, ongoing community consultation will be at the core of everything I do with you and on your behalf at Toronto City Hall. All new developments in Ward 10 will be subject to similar consultation with an eye to maximizing community benefit and improving our well being. No one likes to pay taxes, particularly if one feels that their tax dollars are not spent wisely City Hall must eliminate waste in all its activities. As a small business owner, I know how to get the maximum benefit from every dollar and will urge the City to do the same.

Our campaign is running with the "dream team" of dedicated volunteers most of whom are also residents or have roots of ourin our Ward.

I invite you to come out and volunteer, participate by sharing your thoughts with us, or just give us a call to have our sign put on the lawn.

Once more, I am working hard to introduce myself and I look forward , with your trust, to earn the privilege of representing you in Ward 10 as your Councillor.

Your local community candidate,

Magda Gondor Berkovits
