Bhoomi Dahiya

Bhoomi (she/her) is a first generation immigrant from India who moved from Toronto to Algonquin Anishinabek territory to pursue her undergraduate degree at uOttawa in 2023.

She got involved with advocacy work by serving as VP equity at the uOttawa NDP and volunteering for the non-profit organization community mobilization in crisis (CMIC). After a year of reporting on local affairs like Lansdowne 2.0 at the Fulcrum, and hearing the stories of local leaders during the 2025 federal election, she decided to focus her efforts on municipal affairs, leading her to Horizon.

In the spirit of James Baldwin, who wrote that "the world is held together by the love and the passion of a very few people", she strives to work with and mobilize those around her to bring change at the local level. As a board member she looks forward to highlighting the strengths of our community members and building a defense against the political rhetoric and policies that seek to divide us.
