Canadian politician
Gila Martow is a Canadian politician who has been active in the field of politics in Ontario, Canada. Her career in public service has included representation at both the provincial and municipal levels. Martow's experience in provincial politics began when she was elected to represent the electoral district of Thornhill in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
