Michelle

My name is Michelle and I wear many hats: I am a woman, a mother to three young children, a wife and an educator. I have always been an advocate of social justice and enjoy taking on opportunities to improve the overall welfare of people in our community. I currently live in York Region. We are a very active family! My husband and I have three energetic kids and a big furball Husky who is equally as active. We recently enjoyed a beautiful summer with our family and relatives—beach days, day trips, cottaging and endless birthday parties and gatherings. We loved every minute of it but are now happily settling back into our slower-paced fall routines.

Tricia

Tricia Thomas

I currently live in the King West area of the city. I am an elementary school teacher. My most important job to date and one in which I am most proud of is being a mother to my energetic 5-year-old son. I have been a patient of the Toronto Western Family Medicine Clinic for approximately 15 years. As a Black woman of Afro-Caribbean ancestry, I am aware of the importance of representation in health care and the danger of policies and decisions made in the absence of consideration of the lived experience of marginalized communities. Fun fact: My favourite TV show is Call the Midwife. Currently, my go-to music is salsa and afro beats.
