The main contenders Raymond Cho, Neethan Shan
NOW’s pick Neethan Shan
A little reluctant at first to come over to David Miller’s supporters on the left side of council, Cho, a former social worker, has proved a useful vote for Milleristas, a valuable change-up from the right-leaning morass east of Vic Park. But Cho’s also been the benefactor, winning much-needed help for his Malvern constituents as part of the Priority Neighbourhoods file, even if his politics sometimes veer to the right. Here, though, Shan, a decade-long community activist and advocate for children, youth and immigrants in Malvern, deserves a shot. He’s got the Labour Council’s support.
