Dhalla Paints Brampton Springdale Red Again

Brampton, Ontario – With the support from volunteers, community member and dedicated constituents Dr. Ruby Dhalla has won the seat of Brampton-Springdale for a third consecutive election.

“My victory in Brampton-Springdale was a win for every woman, man, senior and child that believes in equality, hard work and respect. This campaign was about the ideas, dreams and aspirations of the constituents of Brampton-Springdale. I want to thank my constituents for their support, my volunteers for their passion and my family for being my pillar of strength” said Dhalla.

Despite the result of a Conservative Minority government, Dhalla’s win ensured Liberals kept a strong hold on the riding with the largest South Asian demographic in the country.

Dhalla has brought extraordinary experience, passion, and perspective to her role as the Member of Parliament for Brampton Springdale. She made history in 2004 as the first South Asian Women to be elected to federal parliament in the western world and was subsequently re-elected on January 23, 2006 by the support of her constituents. She is currently the youngest woman in Canadian Parliament and has served as the Official Opposition Critic for Health and for Social Development, as well as Vice- Chair of the Standing Committee for Human Resources and Social Development.

”With the continued support of my constituents I look forward to ensuring we build a community and nation, in which all Canadians have the power to believe, achieve and succeed" says Dhalla.
