Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 All-Candidates Forum for Scarborough Southwest held yesterday at the West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre!

It was an engaging evening of rapid-fire questions and meaningful dialogue as candidates addressed community concerns head-on. We were joined by:

🔹 Bill Blair (Liberal Party of Canada)
🔹 Amanda Cain (Green Party of Canada)
🔹 Imran Khan (Centrist Party of Canada)
🔹 Christine Nugent (Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada)
🔹 Michael Poulin (People’s Party of Canada)
🔹 Fatima Shaban (New Democratic Party of Canada)

❌ Asm Tarun (Conservative Party of Canada) declined to participate.

Big thanks to all the community members who attended in person and tuned in via Zoom and Facebook Live. Your questions and presence made this forum a true reflection of community engagement and democratic participation!

Organized with passion and purpose by a coalition of Scarborough South West community groups:
SAWIS, WSNCC, SUN, Scarborough Junction Community, SCAN, Danforth Gardens Neighbourhood Association, Cliffside Scarborough Village SW Residents Association, Access Alliance, and ACSA Community Services.
