She was first elected to council in 2014 with 40 per cent of the vote, becoming the first open LGBT woman at the table.

Housing affordability, development issues and questions around supervised injection sites continued to be serious concerns in the inner-city ward, alongside cycling and walking infrastructure and sidewalk snow removal.

The results remain unofficial until the city clerk verifies the final poll counts, which is expected to happen by Thursday.
