Lorenzo Berardinetti understands the need for a representative in Queen’s Park who knows Scarborough and he is prepared to continue to stand up and fight for families in the community.

Lorenzo was elected to represent the people of Scarborough Southwest in October 2003. He is currently the Deputy Government Whip. He sits on the Standing Committee on Government Agencies and the Legislation and Regulations Committee of Cabinet.

Lorenzo was first elected to represent Ward 4 in Scarborough Council in 1988. He was re-elected in 1991, 1994, and in 1997 was elected to the new City of Toronto Council.

As a Toronto Councillor, Lorenzo made his mark as Chair of the Administration Committee where he was given the difficult task of setting the blueprint for transforming six municipalities and one regional government into a single city.

Born and raised in Scarborough, Lorenzo's calling to public service was evident when he was a youth through his volunteerism and active participation in clubs and associations throughout the community.

Lorenzo obtained a Bachelor of Law from the University of Windsor.
