In their own words, via the Town
Councillor Yamada is serving his third term on Whitby Council and his second term at the Region. He was first elected East Ward Councillor in 2014 and elected Regional Councillor in 2018. For over 14 years, Steve has been an elementary school teacher with the Toronto District School Board. Steve has worked hard with Council members to find operational savings of approximately $4.5 million without harming jobs or service levels. Attracting more businesses to Whitby to grow the commercial and industrial tax base in order to relieve the burden on residential taxpayers is a top priority. Living needs to be affordable again. During the COVID crisis, Steve fought tirelessly for the families and seniors at Sunnycrest Nursing Home where an outbreak infected all but one resident and killed 35 residents. Working with local media and the lawyers for the Ontario Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission, families had the opportunity to testify and tell their stories about their loved ones. Steve holds a specialized honours degree from York University, Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto and a Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law from York University. Steve’s priorities are to make Whitby better, safer, more family friendly and affordable now and for future generations. He and his wife, Jennifer, live in Whitby with their two daughters.

What this does not measure
- Motions moved is not a measure of effectiveness. Who moves a motion is often a seat convention or a committee role, and the member who does the work on a file is frequently not the one who reads it out.
- Nobody is ranked against anybody. These figures are counted against this member's own meetings and are never totalled or compared.
- Absence is not explained. The minutes record who was not there and almost never why. Illness, a declared conflict and a family emergency all appear the same way.
- What was said is not here. This record reads the minutes, which record decisions, not debate.
