Paula works with residents, community groups and local business owners to build vibrant, healthy neighbourhoods. Paula serves on several key committees and boards. This includes the Executive Committee, responsible for major city-wide issues and key priorities, and the Infrastructure and Environment Committee, which she chairs. Paula is also the Deputy Speaker of City Council. Paula chairs the Film, Television and Digital Media Board and is Mayor Chow’s designate on the CreateTO and TOLive boards.
