Another powerful rally at the Legislature on our first day back in session.

Teachers aren’t backing down in their fight for better in our public education system - for students, for teachers, for all Albertans.

And we’re proud to stand with them. #abpoli

Bill 212 wasn't enough. Now the Government of Ontario plans to handcuff municipalities from making meaningful decisions about their roads and block the construction of any new bike lanes that would involve road reconfigurations. Read more:

I am thrilled to announce that I am running for re-election for Edmonton City Council to represent the incredible people of #WardMΓ©tis, and all Edmontonians.

I love this city, and I’m ready to continue building a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous Edmonton for everyone.

Groceries for a week for a family of 6. Plus everything for a big Christmas dinner. All on a bike. In Edmonton. In winter.

How many of the things you think you need an SUV to do could you also do by cargo bike? Without the hassles of traffic and parking, and while having way more fun.
