Wazhma Frogh’s Priority Issues

Safe and accessible streets:

Well-lit streets, clean and maintained public spaces, safer road design, and sidewalks that are usable year-round

A place to call home:

Homes that families can afford, options for seniors to stay in their neighbourhoods, cooperatives etc, and smaller and flexible options for young people, open to discussing the possibilities of fourplexes

A city that works for people:

Clear communication, faster and more reliable servies, respectful and human interaction.

Democracy and participation:

Reaching people where they are, making information clear and accessible, creating real opportunities to engage

Belonging and community:

Safe spaces and support, seniors feeling connected, young people seeing a future
