Andrew Strachan has called Scarborough home for his entire life and thinks it is one of the best places in Ontario to live and raise a family. Ensuring it stays that way ­ and gets better ­ is very important to him. Whether it’s taking transit, conserving energy or recycling, Andrew and his family continue to make Green choices in the way they live.

Andrew has been a supporter of the Green Party for many years now. He is a big fan of the many forward thinking policy ideas including tax shifting, preventative healthcare and sustainability ­ and he wasn’t finding those solutions from the big parties. He believes there is a true opportunity to make Ontario a better place to live. And it is the Green Party that’s the right choice for that future.

Andrew attended the Warden Woods Campus of Centennial College in Scarborough. He currently works in the creative department of one of Canada’s largest advertising agencies providing imaginative solutions to a wide variety of clients. He also encourages his clients to make sustainable choices whenever possible.

Andrew also volunteers his time and energy with local environmental groups helping to educate the people in his community about the need to protect and restore our natural resources and how to take steps towards a more sustainable living. He is currently the President of Friends of the Don East, a group working to improve the ecological health of a section of the Don River watershed near his home.

Most mornings, you’ll find him in the local gym practicing preventative healthcare and trying to stay in shape so he can keep up with his two growing children. One of Andrew’s biggest passions is the outdoors. Whenever he can he likes to hike the trails, cycle the paths and paddle the lakes of Ontario.
