Today is Pink Shirt Day, a reminder that kindness, respect, and inclusion matter in every space we share, from our schools and workplaces to our neighbourhoods and online conversations.

Let’s keep building a city where people feel they belong.

I have some left over!

Truly heartbroken.

Heads up #yegbike, winter is returning! Enjoy the nice weather this week before temps drop and snow falls again.

The best way to do that is to join us and our friends for Winter Bike to Work Day!

Thank you!

In advance of Council's discussion on February 9/10, I want to make sure that I’m accurately reflecting the voices of residents that I represent.

A blue graphic that says: "No residential weekend pause. Snow clearing continues."

A blue graphic that says: "For the next 25 hours, crews will work on alleyways and other urgent safety areas."

A blue graphic that says: "At 7pm on Saturday, crews will continue with neighbourhood blading until the job is done."

RESIDENTIAL SNOW CLEARING WILL NOT PAUSE‼️

Edmontonians, you may have been notified that neighbourhood blading would pause over the weekend, however, I want to assure you that that will NOT happen.

New blog! Reflecting on 2025: a year of challenge, growth, and budget gaps. I'm proud of our work protecting essentials and welcoming more neighbours with new housing.

In 2026, my commitment is strong in getting the basics done right.

42% of those that live in poverty are working.

Many people still think of poverty as something that happens when people don’t work. But the reality is different: majority of people who live in poverty in Canada are working or live in families who work. @gillianpetit.bsky.social and my 2026 chart to watch www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

On behalf of the City of Edmonton, I extend my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones affected by the horrific antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach.

Families and community members had gathered peacefully to celebrate Hanukkah, a time of light, hope and the right to practice one’s faith.

Happy Holidays!

I would like to formally invite you all to our holiday celebration!
We look forward to hosting you for an evening of fun, connection, and delicious food.

Families are welcome, and we will have kiddo-friendly entertainment. ❄

It’s a day to take time to learn, unlearn, and commit to take action to repair the harms from Residential Schools and our colonial history as a Country. I will continue to work towards the Calls to Action in all aspects of my life. 🧡🪶 My platform is clear on this commitment.

Great recap on the forum ❤️

'Back to basics': Alberta to limit municipal property tax increases, eliminate conflicts Premier Danielle Smith has tasked her municipal affairs minister with eliminating municipal conflicts, and limiting property tax increases.

Pity the 94 people who have stepped up to run for council in Edmonton's civic election. Will their efforts even matter, when the interfering UCP government keeps threatening to run everything itself. #yeg #yegcc #yegelxn
