“Join Ontario Liberals supporting Bonnie Crombie and members of the community for a special event in Mississauga on Wednesday, June 14th.”
On May 22, Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said she’s exploring a bid for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal party.
Crombie has been the mayor of Mississauga since 2014 and was a federal Liberal Member of Parliament from 2008 to 2011.

Insauga.com confirmed at the time Crombie is forming an “exploratory committee” to mull a leadership bid for the provincial Liberals, who captured just eight seats in last year’s election.
Former leader Steven Del Duca, now the mayor of Vaughan, left a gap at the party helm when he resigned following the campaign that saw the Liberals fail to secure official party status for the second consecutive vote.
Federal MP Nate Erskine-Smith has also declared his intention to seek the party leadership.
The party will announce its new leader on Dec. 2.
