Grimsby truly is a special community. When there’s a cause to support, people step up with big hearts (and generosity). Lucky to be part of such an incredible town.

Last night’s special Council meeting discussed Niagara Reg’l Chair Bob Gale’s letter. Our Mayor will formally send Council’s feedback: opposed to amalgamation, but open to reviewing regional governance and reducing duplication and redundancies at the regional level. #GrimsbyON

In case you missed it: Amalgamation talk.
Hard NO! I will not support amalgamation.

I’ve always said that Grimsby is the best place in Niagara to raise a family or enjoy retirement—and it turns out the 2026 Globe and Mail agrees. 🙌
We’ve been recognized as one of the most livable cities in Canada, ranking 7th in Ontario and 37th nationally. ❤️

Stopped by the new MRPKC today to see the space in action and hear from residents. Great energy with billiards, pickleball, crafters, walkers, fitness & noon shinny. Exactly what we hoped for—a vibrant space bringing our community together ✨

Wow — what a turnout! After 19 months of construction, the expanded Major Refrigeration Peach King Centre is open. A bright, welcoming space for our community to connect, stay active, and enjoy for generations to come. #MRPKC #GrimsbyCommunity #ActiveGrimsby

Being part of the change means showing up. It takes effort, clear communication, and advocating for what matters—even when it’s not easy. Thanks to MPP Saunderson for listening and working collaboratively toward real change. #roma2026

#Roma2026 has wrapped. Thoughtful discussions, practical learning, and meaningful connections with municipal and provincial leaders from across Ontario. Lots of inspiration—and responsibility—to bring these ideas back to Grimsby. Thank you ROMA 🙏 #GrimsbyON

I’ve shared my intention to run for Mayor in the next election. Grimsby needs leadership that puts residents first & a strong voice at the regional table. When nominations open in May, I’ll share my platform. Thank you for the support and honest conversations ahead.

Remember when they said no one would support a women’s pro hockey league?
Yeah… about that... 😏
They were wrong. 🏒👏

What began as one conversation became many — highlighting how integrity commissioner complaints are too often used to sideline women in municipal politics. We’ve raised this with committees and ministers, and the work continues in 2026. Quiet progress still moves the needle.

Thank you to everyone who came out and took part in thoughtful discussions at last night’s Official Plan Review. As Grimsby plans for future growth, your input helps guide how that growth is managed—so Grimsby will remain the best place to raise a family or retire in Niagara.

What a night!🎅✨

Council was lucky to follow Santa’s hardworking helpers (our amazing Grimsby Firefighters!) as they collected donations for the GBF. Tough act coming after Sparky the firedog 🐶🔥

Thanks for bringing the energy, Grimsby! 🎄🚒✨

Today we remember Dec. 6, 1989, when 14 women at Montréal’s École Polytechnique were murdered simply because they were women. Their memory fuels our fight to end gender-based violence. We honour them by building a world where every woman is safe. #RememberThe14

Proud that council came together to support our downtown businesses through this transition. We’ve approved covering next year’s recycling costs for 49 non-residential properties — a small but meaningful step to help our core thrive.
