Benjamin Abis
Benjamin Abis has called Etobicoke North home for 20 years. A retired public servant, he worked at the Toronto South Detention Centre (TSDC), first in services staff before becoming a Correctional Officer. At TSDC, he was a strong advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, actively speaking out against racism and supporting rehabilitation programs for inmates. As an OPSEU officer, he fought for better wages, benefits, and safer working conditions for his colleagues.
Benjamin’s commitment to community safety and service earned him recognition from the Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Fire Services for his selfless contributions. Before immigrating to Canada, he practiced law in the Philippines and provided free legal aid to those in need. In Ontario, he became a paralegal practitioner and instructor, helping others navigate the legal system.
Deeply involved in his community, Benjamin has been an active member of his local church, volunteering in youth programs and student activities. As a parent, he served on school councils, working to strengthen ties between families and schools. He understands the challenges facing working-class families and the importance of strong public service.
Now, as the NDP candidate in Etobicoke North, Benjamin is fighting for real and meaningful solutions for Canada and especially for Etobicoke North — lowering the cost of living, protecting public healthcare, stronger schools, and safer communities.
Etobicoke North, Benjamin Abis is ready to stand up for you.
