— Amar Chana

CEO of Amar & Associates

I'm Amar Chana. I am the CEO of my own recruitment firm and I had initially approached Hasti for a job opportunity via LinkedIn in 2024. Hasti was a great fit for the role on paper and we spoke about the opportunity and I had a good sense based on my experience she would be a good fit for my client.

We decided to meet in person and at that meeting it confirmed my thoughts that she would be a great addition for my client as her soft skills and the ability to deal with people was the key to this role as the technical skill were important but the key was the ability to work with stakeholders and Hasti has excellent people skills. Being in recruitment for 20+ years I understand how to assess soft skills and Hasti is a top level candidate and her ability to work with people, listen, problem solve and collaborate is the main reason why she will make an amazing city councillor.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Hasti in the real estate industry, where I’ve seen firsthand the integrity, dedication, and hands-on approach she brings to everything she does. She is someone who is deeply guided by her core values, trustworthy in both her words and actions, and genuinely invested in the people and communities around her.

I believe she would bring that same commitment to Richmond Hill City Council. Her innovative thinking, strong work ethic, and willingness to listen, engage, and take action are exactly the qualities we need in our local leadership. She doesn’t simply talk about change—she believes in being hands-on and doing the work required to create it.

I’m proud to endorse Hasti Anasory for City Council and confident that she will work tirelessly for the residents of Richmond Hill, while helping build a stronger community and a better tomorrow.

I have known Hasti for approximately five years, both professionally and personally, and during that time I have come to know her as an intelligent, highly communicative, social, and hardworking professional.

As a real estate broker and business owner with a strong understanding of Richmond Hill, Hasti brings valuable firsthand knowledge of the challenges related to growth, housing, development, and the needs of our local community. Her experience in the real estate industry, combined with her long-standing connection to Richmond Hill, gives her an important perspective on how our city can grow responsibly while protecting the quality of life of its residents.

What impresses me most about Hasti is her ability to connect with people, communicate openly, listen to different points of view, and find practical solutions. She has the people skills, professionalism, and leadership qualities that I believe are essential for an effective City Councillor.

I strongly endorse Hasti and believe she would be an excellent representative for the residents of Richmond Hill. I am confident that her intelligence, experience, communication skills, and genuine commitment to the community will make her a valuable and effective voice on City Council. I believe she will work hard to listen to residents and help build a stronger and better future for our community.

I am proud to support Hasti and wish her every success in her campaign for Richmond Hill City Council.

Global Apparel Product Leader, PC Corp.

I first met Hasti when we worked together in the corporate world, where I had the opportunity to collaborate with her on several projects she was leading. From the very beginning, I saw someone who was intelligent, dedicated, thoughtful, and incredibly determined. Hasti gets things done. She doesn’t give up when things become difficult, and she brings genuine commitment and care to everything she takes on.

Over the years, our professional relationship grew into a close friendship, and I came to know another side of Hasti. She is one of the kindest and most caring people I know. She listens — truly listens — and is always willing to offer her time, support, and help when someone needs it.

Those qualities matter in leadership. A great councillor needs to be able to listen to people, understand different perspectives, work through challenges, and have the determination to turn ideas into action. Hasti brings all of that, along with a genuine desire to make a difference.

I am incredibly proud of her for taking this step and putting herself forward to serve the Richmond Hill community. I know the dedication, integrity, intelligence, and heart she brings to everything she does, and I believe she would be an exceptional councillor and a strong advocate for the people she represents.

I am very proud to endorse my friend, Hasti.

Hasti is one of the most tenacious individuals I’ve ever met. Once she sets her mind to something, there’s very little that can convince her otherwise. Her aptitude for growth and openness to change are what make her such a joy to work with. I truly enjoy her company and have high hopes for all that she will accomplish.
