Seriously impressive late night train service on most train lines tonight. But not a single late night connection to name sake city of the Kitchener Line 🤠

Anyway, here is the train pulling away from the station that we all missed since the doors close 60 secs before departure :) wishing you safe & stress free travels in 2024 🍾

I can’t wait to arrive in Calgary tonight ☀️

So I didn’t make it to Calgary last night, but I did: - hold the elevator for and make small talk about the storm with Jason Kenney in the elevator - make a new friend after our flight was cancelled at 1am and now we might go skiing together lol

Got to check out the “Peaks & Plains” project in Calgary. 20 ground oriented units each with one parking space + small yard. And also the wood 🥲

Frigid & sunny

My folks are moving to Burlington this spring, and on weekdays the fastest journey time with GO is 2.5hrs. to Aldershot, plus a 15 min. drive at the end. On weekends, well its 3.5hrs. via Bramalea.

Bought a new bike and took an inaugural ride out to Southwest Kitchener. So much housing, new community amenities, investment in roads, and new shops opening every time I go.

Here we go! Thrilled to be joining the City of Kitchener as a Senior Planner on the Policy & Research team — and diving into the (many) exciting projects underway!

My brother found his second calling last night:

This morning, we celebrated the official opening of the new Highway 7/8 pedestrian and cyclist bridge in Kitchener — a milestone for a more connected, equitable, and climate-resilient Region. Thank you to all partners who helped bring this project to life.
