Sharolyn Vettese is a long time resident in Willowdale, and her children went to the local public schools. She was a volunteer community leader for 14 years who worked with city and developer representatives to plan for a liveable city centre along Yonge Street and major arteries that was within walking distance of work, shops, transportation, and parks with controlled development. But, no longer, and property taxes have increased with no added value. Sharolyn is also a small business owner who understand the importance and needs of our small businesses, and how they have been neglected.
