Tonight at 6:30PM, Victoria Council will host a public hearing for the new Official Community Plan. The proposed changes are the most significant housing-policy change in city history. If you want to weigh in on housing affordable, community design, and transit come down! #yyj

Great speech by Julian Daly from Our Place Society on solutions for addressing addiction, homelessness and disorder downtown: "We have also slid into what sometimes feels like “endless accommodation” of behaviours on our streets that are frankly not OK" ourplacesociety.com/wp-content/upl…

Victoria Council has endorsed a new $7,000,000 grant application for funding the new Crystal Pool, from the Union of BC Municipalities. This goes along with a $25,000,000 application submitted to the Federal Government. Could possibly reduce costs by $32 million. #yyj

This week Victoria Council reviewed our procedures for Emergency Weather Response shelters this winter to ensure unhoused residents have somewhere warm to go in cold weather. But once again, other municipalities have failed to step up. Sidney? #yyj timescolonist.com/local-news/oth…

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

North Vancouver just approved an incredible new swim dock for their community! I love seeing local governments that invest in public infrastructure and recreation - this is proactive investment in mental health, community and affordability. #yyj #NorthVan

The Youth Bus Pass is saved! Thank you to council for voting 9-0 to keep this critical program funded. This will ensure Victoria youth (13-18) have free transit. Every municipality should support free transit for youth, as it helps create a culture of transit ridership. #yyj

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
