Olivia Chow has been elected as Toronto’s new mayor following a crowded byelection on Monday night. But who is Olivia Chow? The 66-year-old was most notably a former NDP MP in the later part of her career and was the first Asian-born woman to be elected a city councillor for Toronto in 1991 where she served for more than a decade.

Chow moved to Canada from Hong Kong when she was 13 years old. Her family lived in an apartment in St. James Town. She was introduced to politics after working for NDP MP Dan Heap, whom she credits as her mentor.

Chow was then elected as a school board trustee for the TDSB in 1985, a position she held for six years. In addition, Chow supported an anti-homophobia curriculum in the 1980s and helped bring nutrition programs to Toronto schools in the 1990s.

She had also fought back against exploitative immigration consultants in the 2000s. She joined her late husband Jack Layton on Toronto’s city council in 1991.
