Orlando Wright nominated as Ontario Greens candidate in Toronto-Danforth
February 5, 2025
TORONTO — Orlando Wright has been nominated as the Ontario Greens’ candidate in Toronto-Danforth.
Wright has lived in Toronto–Danforth for most of his life and is concerned about the challenges facing people in the neighbourhood he loves.
“It’s incredibly upsetting to see how Doug Ford’s government has handled issues like affordable housing, cost-of-living, transit access, environmental protections, and urban planning,” said Wright. “It’s time for new, Green solutions to the problems we’re facing.”
“Orlando is deeply familiar with the issues top of mind for people in his community,” said Ontario Greens’ leader Mike Schreiner. “I know he’ll be a strong advocate for more inclusive, sustainable, and progressive policies at Queen’s Park.”
Wright is particularly concerned about the increased hate he’s witnessed towards members of Toronto’s LGBTQAI+ community as well as the increase in racism.
