After 100 days as Toronto’s mayor, Olivia Chow is still flying high. Here’s what lies ahead

It’s been a busy few months for Mayor Olivia Chow. In July, she was sworn into office after a rat race of an election which drew more than 100 competitors. Chow came to office promising to do things differently and to put people front and centre. She said Toronto needed more affordable housing, better transit, and to be more caring. Now 100 days in (as of this week), she’s managed to get more done than many critics thought she could.

“It’s been quite wonderful. It is really a complete honour,” Chow told CP24.com in an interview this week about her first few months on the job.

Being able to meet people “all across the city” has inspired her, Chow says.

“It really gives me a sense of how people love their city and how important it is to for us to deliver the best services.”
