Ward 2 Councillor - Town of Ajax

Read Article

Fellow residents of north Ajax

Over the last 20 years we have had the pleasure of nurturing our family and raising our 5 children in Nottingham, North Ajax-Ward2. Our 2 eldest kids were the first to attend the Nottingham Public School from Kindergarten upon it’s completion where their Mom volunteered and I sat on the School Community Councils for a number of years.

Our children have attended the Nottingham P.S, towards graduating to J. Clark Richardson, Durham College and unto University. In my first term in office as your Councillor, I have had the opportunity to firsthand address the daily challenges we all face with our most valuable gifts, our children and I was honoured to stand strong to make a difference in their safety, security and overall well being whilst navigating us through the pandemic.

At a very young age I was taught the important life lesson of giving back to your community. Canada has been extremely kind to our family & now I am honoured to give back.

The hard-earned experience of my business accomplishments in Ajax and throughout Durham has been applied to local small and large businesses in assisting their stability and growth. At a very young age I was taught the important life lesson of giving back to your community.

The past 4 years I have diligently applied every resource available to serving our community and I’m very proud to see the results of our efforts. The next 4 years will see more of the seeds already planted that will blossom to continue to make our hometown Ajax as the most progressive municipality in Durham. The best is yet to come… and we do it together!

Ashmeed Khan has been a colleague, my boss as a director when I was in communications at the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, and I’ve been his client, receiving amazing service from his community-minded business. And in all instances I’d say a friend and an inspirational leader. He works hard, listens carefully, and always cares. I personally believe that he would be an excellent representative for his community if he were chosen to sit on Ajax Council and he would benefit the town with his passion and dedication. Not to mention down to earth sense of humour!

David Stell

Communications Manager, Not-for-profit sector

I have watched Ash grow as a business person and entrepreneur in Durham Region. I have also seen his drive and determination to not only growing his business, but also to foster economic growth for others and support initiatives in the community. This is a man with a strong commitment to family, to helping others succeed and belong. From young entrepreneurs, to economic development and diversity initiatives; Ash has given of his enthusiasm, dedication, time, and expertise to Ajax and the community.

Former CEO, Whitby Chamber of Commerce

Roughly 12 years ago Ash came to Ajax with ambitions of taking over the Durham Region print maket with Minuteman Press. As a fellow entrepreneur with a neighbouring business which is now Modern Man Grooming, it was made clear early on that his drive and focus would go unmatched. With relentless marketing and networking he would soon expand his business and ultimately step into the world of politics. I have no doubt that the very same qualities such as honesty and integrity that have allowed him to be a successful businessman will transfer into being a strong political leader.
