She has always felt a strong sense of accountability to those she serves, putting patients and families first and spending public funds wisely. 

A former competitive athlete and member of Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team at the 1998 World Cup, Lee’s leadership is rooted in teamwork, resilience and collaboration.

Deeply connected to her community, Lee has volunteered with local organizations, supported her children’s activities, and gained a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by local residents and families. She is motivated by a vision of a brighter future for Etobicoke–Lakeshore, where everyone has access to the health care, education, and the opportunities they deserve.
