Meet Shelly Cerrelli

A Vaughan resident. Wife, mother and grandmother. Entrepreneur and business leader. Community advocate. And someone who believes Vaughan’s best years can still be ahead of us.
Shelly Cerrelli has spent more than 20 years building businesses, solving problems and bringing people together. She understands what it means to make difficult decisions, manage competing priorities and turn ideas into action.
But before any title or professional experience, Shelly is a wife, mother, grandmother and Vaughan resident who cares deeply about the community her family calls home.
She is running for Mayor because she believes Vaughan needs practical leadership that listens to residents, challenges the status quo when something isn’t working, and stays focused on getting results.

Why Vaughan. Why Now.

Vaughan is growing quickly, and the decisions we make today will shape what kind of city our children and grandchildren inherit.
Shelly believes residents should be able to afford to live here, spend less time sitting in traffic, feel safe in their neighbourhoods and trust that growth is being properly planned.
But her vision goes further.
She wants Vaughan to be a city where young people can develop skills, find jobs and build careers; where entrepreneurs and small businesses can start, grow and create opportunities; and where residents can see that City Hall is working for them.

Build your business here.
Build your career here.
Raise your family here.
Build your future here.
