From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sarah Climenhaga is a political rookie who declared herself a candidate for mayor of Toronto in 2018.[1][2][3]

Climenhaga once accompanied herself on the ukele while singing a song explaining to city council why Toronto Transit Commission transfers should be good for two hours.[4]

Edward Keenan, writing in the Toronto Star, noted her attendance at a remembrance ceremony for a homeless man who died on Family Day.[5]

Spacing magazine published an op-ed from Climenhaga on July 10, 2018.[6] In it she wrote about decision making about roads that eroded public safety.

With the recent announcement of $22 million in Vision Zero funding, it's worth considering the high price Toronto pays for a road system designed around cars. We are averaging the loss of one life every week. As of June 13 — exactly two years following the City's announcement of the Vision Zero plan to eliminate traffic fatalities — 93 people had been killed on Toronto's roads. {{cite news}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |trans_title= (help)CS1 maint: url-status (link)
