Biography

from the candidate's website

Mitzie Hunter is an accomplished leader with a proven track record of building and championing the city of Toronto. She has held several high-level leadership positions, including serving as Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Toronto Housing and head of CivicAction. Hunter has also held positions in the provincial cabinet as Minister of Education, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development, and Associate Minister of Finance.

As a proud immigrant to the city, Hunter has grown up, worked, and lived in every corner of Toronto. She understands how important it is to make sure that voices across each part of the city are heard - not just the core; the status quo. Her passion for building a city that works for everyone comes from lived experience, and the skill to see it through. 

Hunter believes that Toronto is at a turning point, and it's time to work together to ensure that it's not a breaking point. Her main goal is to make certain that Toronto is a city that works for everyone - that means there are many things, large and small and everything in between, that must get fixed.

Mitzie Hunter is a relentless champion for Toronto and will stand up for all of its residents. She firmly believes that going backwards is not an option — and you can support her to move Toronto forward.

Reason for running

from the candidate's website
It's time for fresh eyes and new perspectives on how to move Toronto forward.

Mitzie Hunter is not like your typical candidate for mayor.

She's not a former city councillor, or the ex-chief of police. Mitzie Hunter brings a unique set of skills to this race. Her experience includes the role of CEO of CivicAction, CAO of Toronto Community Housing, and former Minister of Education in Ontario.

Mitzie Hunter knows how to lead. She is not the status quo. She has a successful track record of championing her constituents at the table. For Toronto, that means everyone, everywhere.

As mayor of the city, she will focus on the issues that matter most, ranging from affordable housing to public safety to transit accessibility, and more. 

Toronto deserves better than the same old, same old. Let's make a difference together. Elect Mitzie Hunter for Mayor — move the city forward once and for all, by bringing new outside perspectives inside City Hall.
