Candidate: Bahar Aminvaziri

Who are you?

My name is Bahar Aminvaziri and I am 27. I currently work for the Waste Management Policy Branch of the Ministry of the Environment as an Engineer, while attending graduate school part-time.


Why are you running for City Idol?

My biggest passions in life are “human rights”, “multiculturalism” and “sustainability”. I would like to see Toronto be the number one city in all those categories.

I would like to see “energy conservation” and “waste minimization” become part of our culture as much as “hospitality” or “open-mindedness” is. We need to make Toronto the safest city in the world once again, and wipe out child poverty and homelessness.

One day, I would like to raise a family in a city that has a reputation for respecting humanity, culture and the environment.


What should a City Councillor be?

First and foremost, a city councillor should be passionate and dedicated. She/he should have great ambitions for Toronto and have a good understanding of our bleakest problems such as violence, child poverty and homelessness.


Anything else?
A city councillor should be compassionate.

We need new leaders.
