Trained as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, Kingsley works in the critical care and emergency departments at Scarborough General Hospital. He knows firsthand that there are gaps in our current health care system and is a passionate champion for reducing the cost of prescription drugs and dental care and providing better mental health supports. 

Kingsley is an active advocate for the rights of working people. He served as president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union Local 575 from 2014 to 2022, representing over a thousand health professionals. Kingsley held this leadership role during unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. He collaborated with other unions and in the wider community to start the Scarborough Health Coalition, which works to resist funding cuts and save local health care services. 

Outside his official union role, Kingsley has advocated for workers' rights as a campaign mobilizer for $15 & Fairness – a group that fights for instituting a $15 minimum wage, closing the gender-based pay gap, and other long-overdue protections for working people. He is also a board member of TTCriders advocating for better-funded public transportation. Kingsley is currently Co-Chair of the Chinese Workers Network where he assists newcomers from Hong Kong navigate the Canadian labour market.  

As your Scarborough–Rouge Park MP, Kingsley will work hard for action on the issues that matter to people here: building more affordable housing, bringing in universal pharmacare, getting the profit out of long-term care, and building a robust, sustainable economy that addresses the climate emergency while creating well-paid green jobs.
