Louis Tsilivis

Louis Tsilivis, BCom, joined the mayor of Toronto’s office as director of budget and finance in April 2020, after six years in the commercial litigation department of the Bay Street law firm Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt. He joined the mayor’s office just a week after Toronto declared a state of emergency due to COVID-19. He is tasked with managing the city’s 2021 budget through the pandemic, which, he notes, “has been described by the Toronto Star as the most challenging in modern Toronto’s history because COVID-19 impacts are costing the city $65 million a week.”
