Congratulations to Omar and the fantastic team at Louis’ Pizza Express on their big move to their new home at 2520 St. Joseph Blvd.
They’re gearing up for their grand opening tomorrow from 1 to 3 pm. Swing by and help welcome them to their new location. 🍕
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

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.
