Meet Bridget
Bridget has spent nearly 30 years living in and around Toronto’s west end, with deep roots in the Junction and the Parkdale–High Park community. Whether walking along the waterfront at Sunnyside, exploring High Park with her dogs, or stopping for coffee in the Junction to soak up its creative energy, she appreciates the shared rhythms that make these neighbourhoods feel vibrant and alive.
Bridget grew up in communities across the city, including Regent Park in the 1980s to early 90's. She was raised by parents who believed deeply in supporting neighbours, welcoming newcomers, and creating spaces where people felt safe, supported and cared for. Their example shaped Bridget’s lifelong belief that strong communities are built by looking out for one another.
For nearly 30 years, Bridget has worked across community development, education, humanitarian initiatives, and the arts — both locally and internationally. Since 1998, she has helped lead volunteer initiatives supporting youth in Jamaica and underserved communities in Haiti, contributing to projects focused on education, recreation spaces, housing, and community infrastructure.
Alongside this work, Bridget has remained deeply connected to arts education and youth mentorship. With a background in theatre arts, she has led arts-based programming in Toronto for children with autism through creative expression and founded initiatives focused on mentorship, cultural exchange, and helping young artists navigate pathways into professional creative industries.
At the heart of Bridget’s work is a deep belief in service. She believes leadership begins with actively listening, building trust, and working alongside people to strengthen community in thoughtful and practical ways.
Bridget is running for City Council with a commitment to people-first leadership grounded in integrity, accountability, and transparency. She would be honoured to serve Ward 4 and work alongside residents to help the community thrive together.
