Meet Michael

Dear Neighbors,
Welcome to my official webpage. It is an immense privilege to serve the vibrant, diverse, and growing community of Ward 6 in the City of Richmond Hill.
My goal as your Local Councilor is simple: to ensure your voice is heard at City Hall and to work collaboratively to make our neighborhoods the best places in Richmond Hill to live, work, and raise a family.
Effective local government relies entirely on open communication. Whether we connect at a community meeting, through an online consultation, or when bumping into each other at a local park, your feedback directly guides my priorities and decisions at the Council table.
Together, we are continuously focused on the core priorities that keep Ward 6 strong, safe, and connected:
-
Traffic & Pedestrian Safety: Championing traffic-calming measures and creating safer, more walkable streets for our families and seniors.
-
Smart Infrastructure & Transit: Ensuring our roads, transit networks, and community facilities keep pace with our growing city.
-
Neighborhood Livability: Preserving our green spaces, protecting resident privacy, and balancing new development with the unique character of our neighborhoods.
-
Community & Local Business: Supporting our vibrant local economy, community events, and multicultural celebrations that bring us together.
Get Involved & Stay Informed: This website is a resource for you. Here, you will find updates on ongoing city projects, local initiatives, and ways to make your voice heard. I encourage you to reach out anytime with your questions, ideas, or concerns.
Thank you for your continued engagement, support, and dedication to our community. I am honored to represent you and look forward to working together to build an even stronger Ward 6.
Warm regards,
Michael Shiu
Local Councilor, Ward 6
City of Richmond Hill
