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.
The numbers don’t lie, but sometimes they don’t tell the whole story.

Cities are good places to live in when municipal governments get the basics right.
