| Profile of Councillor David L. Cohen |
|
David Cohen is currently the Ward 3 Councillor at the Town of Richmond Hill.
Born in Hamilton in 1954, David L. Cohen attended McMaster University and the University of Windsor. After completing his B.A. in 1975, he studied journalism
at Ryerson in Toronto.
A 24-year resident of Richmond Hill, David currently resides in the Bayview Hill area.
First elected as Ward 3 Councillor in 1988, David Cohen is the longest consecutive serving councillor (seven terms) on Town of Richmond Hill Council with 22 years of service this fall. He has held several roles as a Councillor including 11 years as Budget Chair.
David played a major role in facilitating growth and development of Richmond Hill from a community of 50,000 with rural roots, to a thriving urban centre of 185,000 and growing. That Richmond Hill was named in a recent Conference Board of Canada study as one of the top six cities with the winning combination to attract new settlement, is testimony to Councillor Cohen's hard work during the Town's transformative years over the last two decades.
David Cohen's community involvement goes way beyond the duties of a municipal councillor. He actively supports social service agencies, business associations, school communities, seniors programs, service clubs, sports clubs, arts and cultural organizations, to name a few. His involvement includes lending his time as Chair, Board member, advisor, active member or fundraiser. As a father of a special needs child, David has devoted much effort over the years to advancing the cause of those with special needs.
David is married to Grace Chan and has three children.
