Will Olivia Chow’s council appointments create the city hall solidarity Toronto needs?
Summer has a way of flying by, so it may come as a surprise that Saturday marks one month in office for Mayor Olivia Chow. And almost as if to mark that occasion, a meeting at City Hall on Thursday just about concluded the preliminary transition period to her leadership for city council, formalizing her governing team by assigning the members of city council to committees and boards.
In her speech kicking off that meeting, Chow recalled her own days on city council in the chaotic early days of amalgamation. She said she approached Mel Lastman — of whom she was expected to be a key opponent — about how they could work together. He asked her what she was passionate about, she recalled, and she said children. So he made her the children’s advocate and let her loose to start projects that would make their lives in the city better.
