Before that, she spent just over six years as political staff in the municipal government of Toronto – first with former City Councillor Olivia Chow and then as Chief of Staff to City Councillor Gord Perks. During her time there, Shana spearheaded several City-wide policy initiatives in the areas of anti-racism, equity, immigration, employment, recreation, public health, poverty, and housing. Her forthcoming book Toronto the Good? Negotiating Race in the Diverse City discusses what the City of Toronto does with race and racism, to re-make itself as a beacon of democracy, racial inclusion, and progress.
