I first met Joel in 2017, and since then, he has been a steadfast advocate for justice in Ottawa Centre.
Joel is authentic, kind, and accountable—a truly community-driven leader.
He demonstrates a willingness to step aside when necessary, sharing his power and privilege in practical ways to uplift his constituents and the broader community.
Whether it's addressing transit issues, championing environmental initiatives, supporting survivors of gender-based violence, or tackling other pressing social justice concerns, Joel consistently shows the courage to collaborate across party lines to get the job done.
