A moving #RemembranceDay ceremony at the RCL Orléans 632. This moment of reflection reminds us of the courage and selflessness of those who serve our country, and of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we could be free.

Their legacy lives on in the peace we enjoy today. #WeWillRememberThem

Thank you CBC Ottawa, for covering this important issue for my community and our city:

Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex - Orléans will be expanded! After years of work to add a gym and improvements to this older facility, we are moving ahead thanks to a federal contribution to the project.
Thanks to MP Marie-France Lalonde for your partnership on this essential project.

Thx to the St. Matthew HS Senior Band for a great National Anthem performance at Ottawa City Council this am. Showcasing East-end excellence, it was a strong show of talent and potential.

Today, the community came out in force to plant 1,000 trees. The weather was perfect and a community legacy was created. Here’s to a greener, stronger, and more connected Orléans West - Innes. Hats off to the kind of community that doesn’t just dream big—but shows up to make it happen.

October is the start of Islamic Heritage Month, and I was honoured to join the Muslim community at City Hall for a celebration by Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada.
The event was a reminder of the compassion, generosity, and leadership that Muslims bring to our city and country.

It was a truly unique experience to tour Portage Power’s facilities today, the renewable energy business of Hydro Ottawa. It was fascinating to see how the historic Chaudière Falls dam, generating power for generations, continues to be at the heart of our energy system today.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to reflect on the experiences of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities and the lasting impacts of residential schools. The City is honouring survivors by flying flags at half-mast, including the Survivors Flag at City Hall.

I was honoured to join Councillor Sean Devine to celebrate the opening of the Trend Arlington Park Pavilion last night — a beautiful facility that stands as a testament to the resilience and community spirit that emerged after the 2018 tornado tore through Arlington Woods.
