About Michael Thompson
Now in his sixth term as Councillor, Michael Thompson is widely regarded as one of Toronto’s hardest working and most effective political leaders.
Under the banner of “getting things done,” Michael is known to his constituents as a community builder committed to bringing people together in a spirit of collaboration. He has led the formation of local community associations, youth leadership initiatives and Business Improvement Areas. To engage residents in his ward, he holds regular public meetings and annually resolves hundreds of local and city-wide issues.
In addition to a strong focus on serving his constituents, Michael’s commitment to developing Toronto’s economy is longstanding. He regularly draws upon his widespread network of business relationships to help the city to enhance business retention, promote economic growth, advance equity and increase private-sector employment. As former Chair of the city’s Economic and Community Development Committee, he convened an advisory group of leaders in business, labour, academia and the not-for-profit sectors to advise the city on its economic development strategies and priorities. The group’s Collaborating For Competitiveness recommendations were adopted in full by the city and incorporated into the city’s operations. Locally, he spearheaded the creation of the Wexford Heights Business Improvement Area and established a Job Fair that each year brought thousands of job seekers together with dozens of employers.
