Richmond Hill South All Candidates Debate Packs the House with Full Candidate Lineup

Updated: Apr 18

On April 16, 2025, the Richmond Hill South All Candidates Debate was held at the Bayview Hill Community Centre to a full house of residents eager to hear directly from those running to represent them in the upcoming federal election.


All seven confirmed candidates participated, making it a rare and valuable opportunity for voters to hear from the full spectrum of voices on the ballot:

  • Ebrahim Astaraki, New Democratic Party

  • Vincent Ho, Conservative Party of Canada

  • Majid Jowhari, Liberal Party of Canada

  • Alison Lam, Green Party of Canada

  • Joshua Sideris, People’s Party of Canada

  • Yan Wang, Independent

  • Juni Yeung, Canadian Future Party


The debate was a dynamic and respectful exchange of ideas, with each candidate addressing pressing issues such as affordability, public safety, immigration, economic resilience, and Canada’s role on the world stage. Residents had the opportunity to ask questions and hear the different party approaches to the challenges and opportunities facing our communities.


We thank our sponsors, the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) and AVD Smart Solutions Ltd., for their generous support. We also acknowledge our partners, the Rotary Club of Richmond Hill, and the Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan Chinese Business Association (MRVCBA), for helping bring this important event to life. And most of all, thank you to the residents who showed up in large numbers to stay informed and engaged.
