Longtime councillor and MP Carolyn Parrish won Mississauga's mayoral race Monday night, beating out a crowded field of contenders for the top job.
She vowed to have greater citizen participation in the budget process and to prioritize "sustainable development." "I'm sure that's going to fall into place very shortly. Nobody wants to be the lone wolf. And I for sure would like to all the help I can get so I will be pulling everybody together," she said.
Premier Doug Ford congratulated Parrish in a post on X Monday night and said he looks forward to working with her. She said while gentle infill is part of the solution, the city needs more aggressive density and needs to make it easier for developers to get projects approved. Asked by CP24 in a recent interview why she wants a busy job as mayor toward the end of a more than three-cade long career in politics, Parrish said serving on council has been her favourite job.
"Carolyn Parrish is going to have to pay attention to that vote result because I think that's what that was about. She can't be deaf to the pocketbook anxieties of voters in Mississauga." The former girlfriend of Boris Panovski testified about some peculiar activity by the accused in the days surrounding the shooting death of a Toronto-area businessman.
