As we embark on a long weekend, I know that so many of us are looking forward to gathering for Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends.
The little things add up, three-item garbage limit, update on budget advocacy and more!
I spend most of my time thinking and writing about the big issues impacting our city: ending homelessness, combatting addiction, improving public transit, tackling bad-faith evictions, and building better cycling infrastructure.
Fairness for Ottawa, why city budgets matter and how to revive downtown nightlife
We all want a city that works. A bus that comes on time. Smooth roads and ample protected bike lanes. Parks with amenities that are both fun and available when you need them.
Facing tough conversations, celebrating Pride, Labour Day picnic, accessibility, and more!
I have spent the last few days reflecting on conflict, repair, and how we show up for each other, even when we disagree.
Joint statement on funding threat to Somerset West CHC
This afternoon, we learned that the provincial government is poised to ban the Supervised Consumption Site currently operated by the Somerset West Community Health Centre.
Transition to housing, problematic properties, zoning meeting, and more!
I hope you are enjoying this glorious weather and getting some time to enjoy summer events in downtown Ottawa.
Community security, Canada Day, open office hours, Transportation Master Plan, and more!
Summer is here! I have been having so much fun bumping into residents at events like Italian Week, the Centretown Community Health Centre’s 55th anniversary celebration, the McLeod Street block party and the Chinatown Night Market.
Streets for people, final 1010 Somerset consultation, Elgin Street Market, and more!
Why can’t Ottawa be more like Montreal? I get asked this question all the time, as my neighbours look enviously at that city’s extensive network of safe cycling paths and pedestrianized streets. And hey, I get it.
Join us for the Minto Park sale and other events in the community!
Join us tomorrow for our annual Minto Park sale (Elgin and Lewis) from 9am-3pm!
Revitalizing downtown, Doors Open Ottawa, Minto Park Sale and more!
How do we revitalize downtown Ottawa? This is a question I get asked all the time, and it was the focus of a new action plan launched by the Ottawa Board of Trade earlier this month.
Some thoughts on 1010 Somerset and how we move forward
When I was first elected as councillor for Somerset Ward in 2022, one of the first meetings I had was with city staff about a proposed new development on the land adjoining the Plant Recreation Centre in Little Italy.
