Valuable and practical insight from Dr. Mike P. Moffatt 🇨🇦🏅🏅 on what’s required to address Ottawa’s (and Ontario’s) generational crisis on the affordability of housing. I’ll write about this in my next newsletter. Some good changes happening, but much more needs to be done.

Great conversation taking place at #OttCityBuild conference, emphasizing the importance that downtowns play in the health of cities on the whole. Mary Rowe from Canadian Urban Institute urges us not to create divides between urban and rural communities.

Excited to be at the City-Building Summit “Build Up Ottawa” hosted by the Ottawa Board of Trade #OttCityBuild Ottawa Board of Trade

Glad to be out with my colleagues David Hill Wilson Lo Councillor David Brown to support NROCRC at their annual Shine a Light fundraiser.

My 9 year old did this. Should I be impressed or afraid?

Glad to be at today’s 2023 Transecure Awards for OC Transpo. Among many staff acknowledged were one bus driver with 45 years accident-free, plus another driver who saved a 3 yr old child from choking. Bravo!

I've just learned that Ontario gov't plans to phase out free testing of water from private wells. This is a public health concern to many in Ward 9, as well as rural residents living on private wells. I've written to Ottawa Public Health and #OttCity staff. msn.com/en-ca/news/oth…

.Sean Fraser I would love to introduce you to some of the most innovative housing builders I know, who work right here in Ottawa. As an #OttCity councillor, it’d be my pleasure to showcase some our city’s brightest talents, whose ideas will help advance our common objectives.

My colleague Stéphanie Plante 🇨🇦🇨🇭 is kicking butt with her opening remarks. She has definitely warmed up this crowd. To borrow from Jerry’s mom on Seinfeld: “How could anyone not like her?!” Way to go, Plante!

Great to be at the Opening Night of the Irish Film Festival Ottawa. About to see a film called VERDIGRIS. The screening is at the Ottawa Art Gallery, which is an exquisite cultural facility here in #OttCity .
