Former Somali refugee elected Victoria city councillor in first election he votes in
"The first time to cast a vote but also be elected is so overwhelming. For me, this means a lot," Dubow said.
"For 20 years, I did not have a citizenship, so coming to Canada was the most important thing in my life."
Dubow fled Somalia as a child and lived in Ethiopia and Cairo before coming to Canada. He gained Canadian citizenship last year.
