What a game and series! I can’t wait to watch this World Series. My home team vs the greatest player in my generation. Let’s go Toronto Blue Jays!! #BlueJays

Today, my first bill, the Sexual Violence Policy Act, passed committee stage & third reading. We are one step away from it becoming law. This legislation strengthens protections against sexual violence at BC public post-secondary campuses, making them safer for all students.

HUGE NEWS! Crystal Pool is moving to the old YMCA – this means we will have a pool open while the new Crystal Pool is constructed. This will speed up construction of the new pool, allow residents to swim and activate downtown. So thankful council and staff got this done! #yyj

People are asking me if I plan to run for council in 2026. Yes, I 100% plan on this. We've had an enjoyable and productive term, with huge progress on housing, Crystal Pool, climate, arts and community safety. But, there is much more work to do. I'll provide details soon! #yyj

Today we are honouring Remembrance Day. Thank you to the brave men & women who fought for our freedom. It’s hard to comprehend their sacrifice, and today we keep each of their lives in our heart. Lest We Forget. #RemembranceDay

The City of Victoria is ahead of our provincial housing targets! Victoria is one of the only municipalities in BC to beat the targets. New housing helps reduce rents, adds to the tax base, and helps create a vibrant city. Others need to step up now. #yyj #bcpoli

I'm looking to connect with young families that live in the downtown core. The largest growth of children in Victoria is in the downtown core! Does anyone live in the downtown with young kids, or know anyone that does? Please send me a DM! #yyj #victoriabc
