Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong is the latest city councillor poised to try and make a move to Queen’s Park in next year’s provincial election. The boundaries of the provincial Don Valley East riding encompass all of Minnan-Wong’s council Ward 34. After 24 years as a city councillor, Minnan-Wong said it was time for a change, both for him, at this stage in his career, and at Queen’s Park, where the Liberals have governed since 2003. She is running for the Grits in the new riding of Don Valley North in the June 7, 2018 election. Last year, former Scarborough councillor Raymond Cho became the Scarborough Rouge-River Tory MPP after winning a byelection.
