Building a better future for Mississauga.
We’re facing some big challenges in the city we love. People are struggling to make ends meet, housing is becoming out of reach for too many, and things are changing fast. Mississauga is about to pick a new Mayor, and we need someone who has the energy to tackle these issues head on and build a better future for Mississauga.
As Mayor, Alvin will bring the energy and fresh ideas we need to tackle the issues most important to you.
