He was elected more than six months ago and sworn in last Dec. 1, but you’d barely know it from the looks of Regional Councillor Mario Ferri's web page on the City of Vaughan website.

Regional and local councillor Ferri, no newbie to the political game having served for four terms previously, including a stint as deputy mayor, still has a “coming soon” tag on the page.

His colleagues have long since had their biographies up on their web pages, mind you, all of them were re-elected in 2014.

However, it’s hard to understand how nearly halfway through year one of his four-year term, this council veteran doesn’t have a lick of information for residents to read.

Efforts to find out information elsewhere on the web led to Ferri's personal website, marioferri.ca, which also says that it's under construction.

But he does have an active Twitter account, @MarioFFerri. For instance, 18 hours ago he posted a photo of himself and embattled Deputy Mayor Michael Di Biase sending happy 94th birthday wishes to a woman identified as Adelina, from West Woodbridge Seniors club.

Ferri does appear, however, to be reaching out to residents via an email newsletter which landed in The Vaughan Citizen's inbox on April 30.

Ferri has been contacted for comment but has not yet responded.
