🆕 Retrieved from the side of the road near downtown #ldnont : a nurse log addition to my backyard, soon to be inoculated with fungi and made cozy for burrowing bees. Sorry green capitalists but those dumb store-bought pollinator hotels will never be able to compete with rotting🪵

Congratulations to the winners and all who participated! 👏🏼

This is a challenging competition and one that warrants celebration of all the competitors. #LiveNetZero

Coming up next Saturday April 20 please join us for a cleanup of Ann St Park in downtown #ldnont . We'll meet at the Ann Street Community Garden starting at 9:30 am. Supplies and training will be provided. All are welcome! The site has street parking and is near a transit route.

While Paris captures all the headlines, Lyon is quietly undergoing its own vélorution.

“Les Voies Lyonnaises” will invest €500 million in 396 kilometers of infrastructure by 2030—putting 99% of its 2.3 million metropolitan residents within 10 minutes of a high-quality facility.

Day 1 of #ButtBlitz2024 was a success. Today I concentrated on picking up at ⁦Brescia University College⁩. It’s not too late to join the #ldnont team. Collecting butts keeps toxins & plastics out of our environment. For more info, check out agreenerfuture.ca/the-butt-blitz ⁦A Greener Future⁩

#ldnont ride report

It’s LOVELY out there folks. Get out and ride

Cool headwind from the west so bring gloves

Egerton and Dundas a right mess so avoid if you can London Cycle Link

Another full day on the bike and #ldnont drivers have been spectacular. Many going out of their way to accommodate me on the road. Bravo!
London Cycle Link

The city of London is moving toward a target of about a third of trips being taken through walking, cycling and transit. #LdnOnt Car commuters: What would it take to get out of your and onto a bike, bus or walking? I want to hear from you. DM me here.

Reducing that harm does not require banning cars, but does require seeing the problem as fixable.

It will require a rebalancing of how we use space and resources to ensure folks have safe, efficient and comfortable ways to travel: walking, biking, rolling, transit & driving.

Agree!
And as a family doctor recruiter, the province needs to make it easier to work as a family doctor.

(A working doc from Iran just applied for an office job bc she can’t work as a doc here 😔)

Lovely meeting you!

One of the clinics who needs more family doctors is on your Ward so hopefully it won’t take too long for me to let you know the doctors are coming! 🤞🏼
