It's heartbreaking to see. Not only are people lacking permanent housing, but they get evicted from temporary measures as well. We need to do better. kitchener.ctvnews.ca/encampment-res…

So many great events today. Ice cream for breakfast and Bestival. If you're hosting an event and would like to chat about your vision for the city, send me an invite!

Did you know that this entire rapidly growing area of Southwest Kitchener (and others in Doon) has zero weekend bus service? I heard from students and adults who don’t drive that they are forced to walk long distances to work & school on weekends. We can and must do better.

This week's citizen concerns from my coffee chats: senior housing (staying at home and subsidized), downtown businesses (property destruction re: encampments-they want a dignified and compassionate response), transit-frequency and reach.

Check out "Women in Politics WR - Meet the Candidates 2022" So happy to be working with Brooklin Wallis on this one. eventbrite.com/e/women-in-pol…

This week I'm hearing about: balancing needs of all citizens, lack of public engagement opportunities, desire for more local coverage of all candidates (an ongoing series in the paper), and feeling unsafe in public spaces-how do we help those struggling while supporting citizens?

Checking out the Grand River Rocks climbing tournament at their Waterloo location. Thanks for inviting me! Such a great event!

Women in Politics WR! Thanks to all who attended and to Selam Debs for inspiring us, reminding us and singing with us. #votestretch #kwawesome #wrpoli #kitchener #homesweethome #watReg #DTK #dtklove #dtkitchener #kitCouncil

I really enjoy canvassing! I went out with @votestretch (running in Ward 10) and we accidentally crashed Mac Graham's birthday party. Oops! What a great area. I love our downtown. Nice to see you too @Marsh_Ward10!

It has been an honour to run alongside regional candidates who are committed to creating meaningful change. "If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb Good luck to all. What a marathon.

I am looking forward to Regional orientation. I have so many things to learn, so many people to meet, and so many documents to read! Let's get to work!

Why is the government undermining municipalities and the goal of creating more affordable housing with #Bill23? Sandy Shantz Region of Waterloo AMO #onpoli

All municipalities will be affected. Will we all get prov and fed funding? Municipalities are ill equipped to raise these funds. therecord.com/ts/news/gta/20…

This is a good summary of Bill 23, with a timeline of the when some changes take effect. osler.com/en/resources/r…
