Krystyn Wong-Tam will leave City Council and run for the NDP in the downtown riding of Toronto Centre in the provincial general election in June. She has served on Council since 2010. Her statement Friday said “it is with much gratitude and love that I announce that I will not be seeking re-election for City Council in October. Furthermore, after a great deal of consideration and conversations with my family and close friends, I have decided to put my name forward to seek the NDP nomination to become the next Member of Provincial Parliament for Toronto Centre.” Ms Wong-Tam was born in Hong Kong in 1971 and came to Canada by her parents in 1975.
