Strong communities are not built by telling neighbours they do not belong.
We can debate immigration policy, the pace of growth, capacity, and humanitarian responsibilities. But that debate must never become an excuse for division. cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/on…

As a father of two daughters, I think about the world they will inherit and the men who will help shape it.
We need to guide boys and young men toward empathy, responsibility, healthy relationships, purpose, belonging, and asking for help. cbc.ca/news/health/the-menta…
Congratulations @GeeGeesFootball ! A well fought battle by the @CURavens came up a bit short this year. And while @Carleton_U has a spot in my heart, I’m a @TelferEMBA_Alum guy so have to keep faith with the Garnet et Gris! 🏈
A great day to join the Race to End Homelessness! Thank you to the @OttawaAlliance @ochottawa @ysb_bsj and all the other great organizations working towards the day when we move homelessness from the front pages to the history pages. Like the shirt says: We can’t go fast enough!

Congratulations to all those who ran today’s @CanadaArmyRun & supported those who support us. This 5+21.1 Commander’s challenge was my longest distance in a day but no distance comes close to the service of our Men & Women in and out of uniform, their families & those around them
Wishing all those celebrating the new year blessings and prosperity ahead. May you enjoy the company of family, friends, and community.

Let’s move transit forward.
If re-elected, I will secure billions of dollars of provincial funding for new rapid transit lines, reintroduce express routes in the east, west and south, start Stage 3 of LRT to Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, and cut the price of a monthly transit pass by over 30%, to $95. marksutcliffe2026.ca/priorit…

"The longer somebody stays homeless the harder it becomes."
That's why shelters like @sghottawa, @ysb_bsj, & @ochottawa, with our support, are promoting a diversion approach to helping people at risk of homelessness- especially youth- find other options.

Dad.
Lost him when I was just 18 months old.
Today would have been his 100th birthday.
I’ve now lived 10 more years than he did but know I would be so much wiser today had he been there Today isn’t Father’s Day. So it’s a great day to drop in on yours or call out of the blue❤️

We're grateful to work with such strong and dedicated partners on the challenge of ending homelessness in Ottawa!
Ending homelessness in Ottawa will take a solution that requires coordination, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to keep moving forward. But we can do it. It is great to have Councillors Laura Dudas, Marty Carr, and partners like Michael Maidment, @OttCommFdn, John Heckbert, @ochottawa, Katie Burkholder-Harris from the @OttawaAlliance to End Homelessness, Nina Gorka, @ysb_bsj, working together as we launch the action plan to End Homelessness. Everyone deserves a safe place to stay at night, and together we can make that happen.
Pour mettre fin à l'itinérance à Ottawa, nous devrons tous nous mobiliser, mais nous pouvons y arriver. La solution passe par une bonne coordination, des partenariats solides et une volonté commune d'aller de l'avant. J’ai été ravie d’être accompagnée des conseillères Laura Dudas et Marty Carr, ainsi que de partenaires comme Michael Maidment de la Fondation communautaire d’Ottawa, John Heckbert d’Operation Come Home, Katie Burkholder-Harris de l’Alliance pour mettre fin à l’itinérance à Ottawa, Nina Gorka du Bureau des services à la jeunesse, lors du lancement de notre plan d’action pour mettre fin à l’itinérance. Tout le monde mérite un endroit sûr où passer la nuit, et ensemble, nous pouvons y parvenir.

By a vote of 20-4, city council adopted a new bylaw to protect schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other community facilities from intimidating demonstrations. After consulting carefully with the public, a lot of work went into this new bubble bylaw. It strikes a careful balance, protecting free speech and the right to demonstrate, and also protecting safe access for children, families, seniors, and communities.
Par un vote de 20 contre 4, le conseil municipal a adopté un nouveau règlement visant à protéger les écoles, les hôpitaux, les établissements de soins de longue durée et d’autres installations communautaires contre les manifestations intimidantes. Après une consultation rigoureuse auprès du public, un important travail a été réalisé pour élaborer ce règlement sur les « zones bulles ». Il établit un équilibre important entre la protection de la liberté d’expression et du droit de manifester, et la protection de l’accès sécuritaire pour les enfants, les familles, les aînés et les communautés.
Bill, his family and his team have hosted more family gatherings, celebrations, and special moments than most people see in a lifetime. Here’s to another 66 years Golden Palace!
I’ve been visiting Golden Palace for more than four decades, and it’s a place that’s meant a lot to so many in our city. Congratulations to Golden Palace. It was great to visit them with Councillor @tm_kavanagh and members of the community for their 66 years celebration. A real milestone for an iconic business.
Je fréquente le Golden Palace depuis plus de quatre décennies, et cet endroit a beaucoup compté pour tant de gens dans notre ville. Félicitations au Golden Palace. Ce fut un plaisir de leur rendre visite avec la conseillère Kavanagh et des membres de la communauté à l’occasion de leur 66e anniversaire. Un véritable jalon pour une entreprise emblématique de notre ville.
