About Hassan

Written by Hassan Mubarak Noor Mohamed in answer to our questionnaire, and published as given. Not our description of them.

I am a husband, father, and proud resident of Don Valley North. With more than 20 years of experience in leadership, education, partnerships, and community service, I am running to bring a fresh, practical, and accountable voice to City Hall.

I hold an MBA specializing in Finance and am a professionally qualified Management Accountant. Throughout my career, I have brought people together, built strong partnerships, solved problems, and helped organizations grow.

But beyond titles and qualifications, I believe leadership is about people. It is about listening to residents, understanding the challenges families face, and working together to find practical solutions.

One lesson has stayed with me throughout my career: the best decisions begin by listening. That is the approach I will bring to representing Don Valley North.
