McKelvie was one of only two non-incumbent candidates to unseat an incumbent councillor in the 2018 election, a rare feat in Toronto politics. In the 2014 Toronto municipal election, she was a candidate in Ward 44 and came within less than 600 votes of defeating then long-time incumbent Ron Moeser. Enhancing public transit, creating employment opportunities, and improving housing and community safety were her key priorities. She also derided the post-amalgamation shift of public investment and municipal jobs out of Scarborough in favour of Toronto’s downtown core. McKelvie believes replacing the elevated Scarborough RT Line in favour of a subway and building an Eglinton East LRT line are crucial transit projects necessary to properly connect Scarborough with the rest of Toronto. Early life and familyJennifer McKelvie (nee Gray) was born in East York and lived her early years in an apartment complex on the North York-Scarborough border. She attended the French immersion program at Precious Blood Elementary School and is a graduate of Senator O’Connor College School. Jennifer honed her interests in science and environmental issues by completing her Bachelor’s in Environmental Science at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, now in her Council Ward. While a university student, Jennifer worked as a research assistant, and at Environment Canada and the then Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. Jennifer lives in Ward 25 with her husband Warren and her two children. Academic career and community serviceShe received her M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in geology, with research specializing in geochemistry, environmental cleanup, and biochemistry. Jennifer's academic mentor and supervisor was Barbara Sherwood Lollar, an internationally recognized leader in geological research and a Canada Research Chair in geochemistry. McKelvie's academic work has been recognized and supported by the L’Oréal/UNESCO Women in Science Fellowship, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Prior to her election, McKelvie worked as an environmental geoscientist, and researcher. For almost a decade, she served as a senior scientist at the Nuclear Waste Management Organization and as a research director at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. McKelvie was the first President of the Scarborough Community Renewal Organization and was President of the Centennial Community & Recreation Association. In both of these capacities she fought for renewal and investment in Scarborough. Proud of her academic roots, McKelvie served as a member of the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus Council and as a citizen member of the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). Her community service has been recognized by the Scarborough Rotary Clubs, who awarded her with the Paul Harris Fellow award in 2017. She has also received awards recognizing her leadership from the Province of Ontario and the University of Toronto. Electoral record
