Great start to the week - kicking off the @AgricultureON @unitedwaygwd campaign. A great crowd who got to hear about their impact from our Rural Communities focus area - VON’s Meals on Wheels and Transportation program. Oh, and a bake sale! 😋
A huge thanks to @adamadonaldson for having me on Guelph Politicast to chat about @unitedwaygwd . I know I'm biased but this is a MUST listen to learn about how UW is ensuring #BetterIsPossible

What a fabulous day yesterday kicking off the @uofg @unitedwaygwd campaign. U of G has partnered with us for over 40 years and their employees have raised and donated over $13M to support our community. Let’s go Gryphs this year we are ensuring #BetterIsPossible 🙌
Congratulations and thank you to @compass_csgw on 37 years of being an important safety net in our community. @unitedwaygwd is proud to be providing $181,000 in annual funding to Compass, thanks to our generous donors. #BetterIsPossible

A partnership btw local government + public agencies in #FortMcMurray has found bridge housing for people experiencing #homelessness through collaboration. Rather than turning to enforcement,
@rmwoodbuffalo worked with residents to relocate them.

Thank you for this motion @carlyklassen We spend so much time fundraising for and taking action on food security, homelessness and more, a guaranteed livable basic income is where we need to be focusing.
Council, mostly, calls for national guaranteed livable basic income guelphtoday.com:443/local-ne…
