Carolyn Parrish was elected to lead Canada ’s seventh largest city in a June 2024 byelection.

The 78-year-old former member of Parliament has always approached politics outspoken, bold and sometimes controversial.

After quitting the Peel Police Services Board last fall , Parrish said the $144-million boost to the police budget 62 per cent of which is covered by Mississauga taxpayers was “unreasonable”.

Three Mississauga councillors voted in favour of a 23.3 per cent budget increase for Peel police.

It was an unprecedented hike approved by Peel regional council after hours of heated debate in late January .

Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown , who sits on the Peel Police Services Board , has argued that public safety outweighs concerns over tax hikes.
