We just don’t need a councillor, we need somebody who has heart.

Arvind Choudhary on why he supports Zena57 sec

Transcript

Somebody will become councillor, somebody. Do you want just a councillor? But Zena, if she becomes the councillor, then it’s not just a councillor. A sister, a mother, a friend, that becomes a councillor. And that’s what we need there.

Who has the heart for community, that’s what we need. We just don’t need a councillor, we need somebody who has heart. Right now in our council, there’s no representation from this community. So we need a representation there.

But you know what? That will be good to have a Muslim representation in the community. But having a lady, and on top of that, that Zena, it’s the greatest thing that can happen, and let’s vote for her.

We have to achieve that one. That’s what we need to do. Thank you so much.

She doesn’t just talk about caring for the community—she lives it every day. I am proud to support Zena and wholeheartedly endorse her.

I proudly endorse Zena. I have known Zena for over 10 years, and I have seen firsthand the kindness, compassion, and dedication she brings to everyone around her.

From welcoming my family when we moved to Oakville, to standing beside me during the most difficult moments of my life, Zena has always been there—without hesitation and without asking for anything in return.

She treats everyone with respect, kindness, and dignity, regardless of their background or circumstances. She doesn’t just talk about caring for the community—she lives it every day.

I truly believe Zena would be an outstanding representative for Oakville and our diverse community. I am proud to support Zena and wholeheartedly endorse her.

She is someone who listens, cares, and takes action. A person is a person in Zena’s eyes—and everyone matters.

Zena Al-Mudaris is the kind of person who truly believes that a person is a person. She is kind, respectful, compassionate, and genuinely motivated to make a difference in her community.

What stands out about Zena is that she is always willing to help others, whether she knows them personally or they are complete strangers. She doesn’t judge people by their race, colour, background, or religion. White, Black, brown, Muslim, Christian, or any other faith or background—to Zena, everyone deserves the same respect, dignity, and kindness.

She is someone who listens, cares, and takes action. Her motivation comes from wanting to see people and her community succeed. She treats others with the same respect she would want for herself, and she believes that our differences should bring us together, not divide us.

Zena isn’t just asking for your vote—she is asking for the opportunity to serve everyone. Her heart is in helping people, standing up for what is right, and working toward a better future for all.

A person is a person in Zena’s eyes—and everyone matters.

Her impact as an active leader in our religious and social programs is undeniable.

While I know Dr. Zena primarily through her public service rather than on a personal level, her impact as an active leader in our religious and social programs is undeniable. She has a natural initiative for doing good and is always ready to provide aid and assistance. Her work is marked by high standards, deep precision, and rich experience in the charitable sector.

Dr. Zena wears many hats—as a pharmacist, a school principal, and an organization builder—and she has used every one of these roles to develop wonderful educational and cultural programs for our community.
