About Chloe

Written by Chloe Brown in answer to our questionnaire, and published as given. Not our description of them.

Chloe Brown is a former Toronto mayoral candidate running for City Councillor in Ward 1, Etobicoke North. She believes local government should be accessible, responsive, and accountable to the people it serves.

Her priorities include affordable housing, stronger tenant protections, reliable public transit, safer streets, and more spaces for young people to learn, connect, and thrive. She supports making better use of underutilized properties to meet community needs and advancing community land trusts to protect long-term housing affordability.

Through her Roots and the River policy, Chloe connects responsible development with environmental protection and community well-being. She advocates for planning decisions that reflect residents’ needs and protect the resources communities depend on.

Chloe also supports a more effective approach to public safety, including appropriate responses to mental health crises and stronger efforts to prevent youth recruitment into organized crime.

Her campaign centres on listening to residents, engaging people who feel overlooked, and turning community concerns into practical action. Chloe’s vision is an Etobicoke North where residents can afford to stay, young people have opportunities, and everyone has a meaningful voice in shaping their neighbourhood.
