Gurwinder Dusanjh, the Ontario Liberal candidate for Sault Ste. Marie, is deeply committed to addressing the pressing concerns of his community, including healthcare access, housing affordability, and economic development. As the owner and operator of Heyden Fuels and Convenience on Highway 17, he transformed a shuttered gas station into an award-winning establishment, enhancing local services and contributing to economic revitalization.

Recognizing the critical housing shortage in Sault Ste. Marie, where homelessness has risen by over 72% since 2021, Gurwinder established Pioneer Park. This land-lease community offers modular homes with essential services, providing affordable housing options and addressing the community’s urgent needs.

In his role as a senior customer service representative for BMO Financial Group, Gurwinder has honed his expertise in financial services and customer relations, equipping him to navigate complex economic challenges. His decade-long commitment to Sault Ste. Marie is evident through his service as Vice-President of the Algoma University Students’ Union and as a Walk-Safe attendant on campus. He has actively participated in initiatives such as the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast and founded the Algoma Sikh Association, leading charitable efforts like One-Billion-Rising donations to Women-in-Crisis Algoma and Pauline’s Place.

Aligned with the Ontario Liberal Party’s platform, Gurwinder is committed to:

Healthcare: Ensuring every Ontarian has access to a family doctor within four years, increasing compensation for personal support workers and nurses, and modernizing healthcare services.

Housing: Eliminating the provincial Land Transfer Tax for first-time homebuyers, seniors downsizing, and non-profit home builders to make home ownership more attainable.

Economic Development: Investing in local businesses and infrastructure to stimulate job creation and economic growth in Sault Ste. Marie.

Gurwinder’s leadership embodies the Ontario Liberal Party’s vision for a prosperous and inclusive province.
