As Scarborough Deputy Mayor and City Councillor for Scarborough–Guildwood, I am proud to serve the residents of Toronto and champion the communities of Scarborough. Throughout my 20 years of elected public service, I have worked to deliver results for residents, strengthen neighbourhoods, and ensure Scarborough has a strong voice at City Hall and beyond.
Effective leadership requires collaboration across all orders of government. As Deputy Mayor, I have represented the Mayor and the City of Toronto in intergovernmental relations, working closely with federal, provincial, and municipal partners to advance key priorities for our community. Whether advocating for investments in housing, transportation, community safety, infrastructure, economic development, or social services, I remain committed to ensuring Scarborough receives its fair share of resources and opportunities. I believe residents deserve a representative who is accessible, accountable, and focused on practical solutions that improve the quality of life for families, seniors, youth, and local businesses. Building Housing and Strong Communities Housing affordability remains one of Toronto's greatest challenges. I support initiatives that expand housing options, strengthen neighbourhoods, improve local services, and help residents thrive. Keeping Communities Safe Community safety is a top priority. Through strong partnerships with the Toronto Police Service, community agencies, schools, residents' associations, and local organizations, we continue to support safer neighbourhoods, meaningful youth engagement, and crime prevention initiatives. Investing in Transportation and Infrastructure Scarborough residents deserve reliable transit, safer roads, and modern infrastructure. I continue to advocate for investments that improve mobility, reduce congestion, and connect residents to jobs, education, health care, and recreation. Supporting Jobs and Economic Growth Strong communities need strong local economies. I remain committed to attracting investment, supporting small businesses, creating employment opportunities, and promoting skills training that helps residents succeed. A Strong Voice for Scarborough As Scarborough Deputy Mayor, I have worked to ensure that Scarborough's priorities are represented at decision-making tables across the city and in discussions with provincial and federal partners. My focus remains on securing tangible results for residents through investments in community facilities, infrastructure, economic development, and quality-of-life improvements. Paul Endorsements “As a resident of Guildwood for more than 30 years I have known Paul for most of that time. I have worked with him on multiple community committees and projects. Paul is easily approachable and has always made himself available to the residents in our ward. This dedication has not wavered even when the ward was doubled in size nor when his responsibilities increased to include many city-wide initiatives. I am looking forward to another term of his leadership. I will be voting for Paul this October.” Resident Ralph van Putten "As a member of the Cedar Ridge Community we appreciate the effort of Paul and his team in coordinating the implementation of the Ward 24 Community Bus." Resident Wayne Gratton. “On behalf of the FRIENDS OF CORNELL PARK. We want to thank you for your steady support of our community and the beautiful upgrades coming soon to our park. Your work makes a real difference in our neighbourhood. You have been genuinely caring for this community, and we appreciate you being there every time. You are a blessing for this community." Friends of Cornell Park. "Councillor Paul Ainslie has spent years serving our community with outstanding dedication and strong leadership. He and his team work tirelessly to support residents, address concerns, and make our community a better place for everyone. Paul’s commitment and willingness to help are why I am proud to be a long-time supporter." Resident Abdul Bala. "Thank you, Councillor Ainslie and your team. Over the last term, the CSVSWRA has greatly appreciated your open-door policy and willingness to listen to local concerns. In particular, we thank you for opposing the proposed development at 3718–3730 Kingston Road. The CSVSWRA truly values your motion to secure funding to defend against this oversized project and protect proper transitions into our neighbourhoods."
