Meet Jimmy
Jimmy has lived in Kingston since 2001, being a proud and true Canadian for over 20 years. In that time he has raised his family, started and managed his own business, become the founder of a local nonprofit to give back to the community, supported Kingston through civic engagement and philanthropy, and has served on the Kingston City Council for the last 4 years.
In that time, he has had the opportunity to work with city staff, his peers, and local residents to improve Trillium District and Kingston as a whole. Outside of the council, Jimmy has been at the forefront of supporting the community with various initiatives such as the Diversity Dinner, Project Red Rose, and Community Voices.
As city councillor, Jimmy has also been able to improve his understanding and skills in working with the city for the best results possible and believes his work is not yet done. For this reason, Jimmy will be running for reelection this year, so that these skills can be put to use and bring a new perspective to City Hall. Please consider supporting Jimmy as city council for Trillium District in 2026.
