Thank you for visiting the #CaldwellFamilyCentre to help us thank @ONTrillium for their financial support to help us upgrade our kitchen equipment. We appreciate your ongoing support to help us tackle #FoodInsecurity in #Ottawa

I had a lovely visit at @CaldwellOttawa this afternoon to officially recognize their OTF grant and see the improvements the grant has allowed them to make in their kitchen.
I also had an opportunity meet incoming ED Eugene Williams and thank outgoing Acting ED Susan Hopkinson.

🌟 Embrace the spirit of giving! This Saturday, December 2nd, drop by 255 Richmond Rd between 1 pm-4 pm to donate winter clothing and support our community. Your generosity can make a world of difference. #GiveBack #CommunityLove @westboroBIA ow.ly/AhYN50Q9qJt
Evidence that #FoodInsecurity is a real problem in #Canada caused by inadequate income. #FoodSecurity can only be solved when there is #IncomeSecurity
#FoodSecurity
Charitable food programs have been the primary response to #FoodInsecurity since the 1980s. Yet, research indicates there has been no meaningful decline in the prevalence of household food insecurity.

Always looking to collaborate with our local #Ottawa MPPs, thanks to @JohnFraserOS @karenmccrimmon for sitting down w/ OCH.
Across the province, housing is a critical need. OCH is building #AffordableHousing & working on more partnerships & investment opportunities to do more🏘️

On September 30, we honour the First Nations, Inuit and Métis lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities.
On October 2, OCH offices will be closed as we join Canada in commemorating the #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation.
Eugene Williams retweeted
Reconciliation is not the responsibility of Indigenous Peoples alone. It is the responsibility of all of us. It’s our responsibility to listen to – and learn from – First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Survivors, and to face the truth of our past.

#WelcomeAfghans: Today, we welcomed 298 Afghan nationals to Toronto, where they will continue their journey to approximately 19 communities across Canada, including Ottawa, Surrey, and Thunder Bay. Over 37,000 Afghans have already arrived in Canada, and we are on track to welcome at least 40,000 by the end of this year. Learn more: canada.ca/en/immigration-ref…

If you think poverty is a personal choice, then you fundamentally don't understand poverty. Poverty is a policy choice that puts folks at a disadvantage from the start. It's like handing someone a puzzle with missing pieces and blaming them for not solving it.

The rising number of heat-related deaths in Ontario is a tragic reality that disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable, particularly those who are homeless. 🏠 #OntarioHeatwave
This is outstanding!
