There’s a new park opening at the corner of Lyon and Albert this summer, and when city staff asked me who we should name it after, I didn’t hesitate when I said: Diane Holmes.
Some days at City Hall are about the little things like potholes, garbage pick-up and noise complaints.
We all know what it’s like to be out in public and be unable to find a toilet.
Citizens voices matter, and they drive the positive change that we need in our city. That’s the message I got from a very long Public Works and Infrastructure meeting this week that included delegations from more than 70 residents and business owners. The two contentious items on the agenda included infrastructure that many of us would regard as very basic: sidewalks and bus lanes.
As a result of a change in the collection contract, new garbage, recycling, and green bin collection days will take effect on March 30, 2026. Please see the information below for residents. Moving forward, all residents in Somerset Ward will have their garbage, green bin, and recycling collected on Mondays.
Everyone deserves to feel safe in our city.
