David Miller, Mayor, City of Toronto

---

Mayor David Miller began his professional career as a partner at the Toronto law firm Aird & Berlis, where he specialized in employment and immigration law and shareholder rights. He became a Metro Councillor in 1994, and in 1997 he was elected to the new City of Toronto council where he served two terms. In November 2003, Miller was elected Toronto's new mayor and in November 2006 he was re-elected for a four-year second term.

Miller has enabled Toronto to garner new powers, money, and respect from provincial and federal governments. Under his leadership, Toronto has become the only city in Canada with a direct agreement with the federal government on transit funding.

In addition to advocating for the city of Toronto, Miller has also become one of the dominant voices for the national urban agenda.

He and his wife, lawyer Jill Arthur, are the parents of two children.
