In ERs, we see the impact of unsafe roads regularly. Cities with good bike infrastructure have fewer deaths and greater safety for all, regardless of whether they’re walking, cycling or driving. Ontario gov should reconsider how to spend $48 mil Improve lives - not put them at risk #bikeTO #onpoli

While campaigning in Roseview Apt building I was just in time for the Apple Crisp making workshop! It was a fun gathering organized by a OASIS coordinator. Social connections can put a smile on your face and so does apple crisp! @queensuniv.bsky.social

Thank you Mary-Lu for organizing an event for Foster Farm residents in recognition of the Truth and Reconciliation Day. It is important for families to learn about this terrible chapter of our history and remember that Every Child Matters. @pqchc.bsky.social

Participated in the #RuntoEndHomelessness this morning. This is a cause I very much support. We need to work together to ensure everyone is housed appropriately. It was a bonus to find out I was first in my age category in the 5k. Yay ! @ottawaalliance.bsky.social

I’ve enjoyed visiting many neighbourhoods in Bay Ward so far this weekend. Thanks to my volunteers, Ayah, Marlene & Clyde for helping me out. I met Rob Malone in Fairfield Heights who is a quiet hero who picks up litter around the neighbourhood So many wonderful folks in Bay Ward.

Still fighting for DRAO Coverage This morning at City Council, I brought forward a motion to ask the province to review the eligibility parameters for the DRAO program, not only for the storm on July 1st, but for future extreme weather events across Ontario. www.youtube.com/live/zHApfB1...

School is back #OttCity and so is the morning rush. As kids head back to class, it's important to keep road safety top of mind in school zones. For safety tips and ideas to help kids build safe habits, visit: bit.ly/4glWkGi Children deserve a safe trip to school.

I have already raised the issue regarding resident access from this apartment building and am asking for it to be corrected. The north side Carling sidewalk has recently reopened after 3 years and leads to the station. The closure of the south side is supposed to be completed in September.

My son asked me why the guard rails were horizontal making it easier to climb. The NCC has vertical rails on their Mud Lake bridge installations. Much safer.
