I conducted an interview with Mr. Del Grande on the topis of issues within the community
Q: What is the biggest issue we have right now?
A: I think the biggest issue that we have rigtht now is the city's prosperity and people looking for jobs, economic growth.
Q: What do you think we, as a society should do in order to sustain our community?
A: The most important thing for people is to vote. It's for people to speak up. People aren't speaking up as much as in the old city of Tooronto, so just voices that are unheard.
Q: What's the thing that motivates you to continue to do what you have been doing?
A: It's unfinished work...things that need to de done, things that need to be fixed.
