Aisha Heywood’s early life experiences helped her become a focused results-oriented individual who is passionate about her community.The catalyst for her interest in community involvement and her political aspirations began with her mother, who introduced her to volunteerism and community building. Beginning with regular volunteer opportunities at Tropicana Community Services and the local Scarborough Boys and Girls Club, Aisha was eager to be involved with meeting the needs of others. In her teen years, Aisha was exposed to inspiring and professional women who ignited her passion to live a meaningful and successful life. Aisha’s spiritual journey has also reinforced my early interests and passion in advocating for people. Upon moving to the City of Pickering, Ontario, Aisha was immediately compelled to be actively involved in her new place of residence. After seeing a posting for the Pickering Accessibility Advocacy Committee, Aisha joined and remained a member for over seven years. In addition, Aisha has volunteered in various committees within the Durham Children’s Aid Society and currently serve as a Director on the Board.
