Mary-Margaret McMahon is the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Beaches-East York and Critic for the Environment and Climate Change.
A natural-born leader, Mary-Margaret McMahon was a strong City Builder long before she was elected first to Toronto City Council in 2010 and then to the Ontario Legislature in 2022. She worked tirelessly as a passionate volunteer on projects for a variety of organizations in her community ranging from environmental education, small business advocacy and streetscape beautification, to public awareness-raising on food security issues and initiatives.
Mary-Margaret’s proudest achievements include leading and implementing the City’s first climate change adaptation plan (TransformTO) and spearheading the Laneway Suites planning policy – a game-changing housing initiative adding to the city’s rental stock and allowing residents to age in place, and helping to create the Vision Zero road safety plan ensuring safety for all road users. As a shop local champion, she was instrumental in repealing the vacant commercial property tax rebate to allow for more vibrancy on our streets.
As MPP, Mary-Margaret has been a strong advocate for the people of Beaches-East York. Against all odds, she flipped the riding in a close race. A lifelong environmentalist, Mary-Margaret jumped back into politics to address the climate emergency and holds the role of Critic for Environment and Climate Change. She is sharply focused on delivering housing reform, strong climate policy, improved healthcare, education, and transportation for her community and all Ontarians.
Mary-Margaret has a knack for bringing people together and inspiring them. Whether it is working across party lines or empowering residents to form advocacy groups to implement change in their neighbourhoods, she ensures everyone’s voices are heard and ideas valued. Mary-Margaret is a true collaborator.
With her endless energy, creativity, and charisma, Mary-Margaret’s ambitious plans for positive change can be seen in Beaches-East York, in Toronto, and across Ontario!
