Such a great cause , hundreds supporting @HarmonyHousews . 40 years sheltering women and children fleeing abuse. Thank you 🙏 @arieltroster.com @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social @och-lco.bsky.social @ochfoundation.bsky.social

I'm disappointed and saddened tonight by the Algonquin College Board of Governors' decision to cut 30 critically important programs. Programs that led to employment, that built our community, that made our economy stronger. This goes way beyond Mr. Ford's "basket weaving" quip.

Congratulations to my colleague @stephanieplante.bsky.social and the successful motion to ensure increased safety & security for transit users. I’m proud to have offered supported on this and you must listen to this CFRA clip. omny.fm/shows/580-cf...

Les suggestions de la conseillère Stephanie Plante concernant les dépenses stratégiques utilisant les fonds de règlement relatifs à l'oxycontin pour lutter contre la crise des opioïdes sont importantes, notamment en matière de coordination.

I am teaming up with @stephanieplante.bsky.social and Marty Carr to try classes at as many local gyms as possible. So far, we had a blast at Collective Movement on Catherine and Oxygen Yoga and Fitness on Rideau. Do you have a class you love? Send us your suggestions so we can #SweatLocal.

Shoutout to @stephanieplante.bsky.social for speaking out on unfair transit reliability issues downtown. Thank you for stating your commitment to bus-only lanes and transit priority signals. Let’s speed up the 6, 7 and more urban routes! cc: @arieltroster.com @shawnmenard.bsky.social

Thanks to @stephanieplante.bsky.social and @arieltroster.com for inviting me to their latest #SweatLocal stop at Strong Pilates in Wellington Village. Great workout and company!

Councillor @stephanieplante.bsky.social will be holding the last ward hours for the summer on Friday, June 27 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Planet Coffee, 24a York Street. This is a great chance to drop in, have a chat about issues that matter to you, and to support an excellent local coffee shop!

I thought very highly of Madam Amilcar in my time covering transit committee and the LRT. As others have said, she leaves the system in better shape than she inherited ottawacitizen.com/news/amilcar...

I will miss Renée Amilcar. She should be proud of her work to stabilize ridership and get Line 2 open, and her insistence on transparency, blunt talk, and the patience to explain the engineering without condescension. I will miss her unbridled enthusiasm for buses and trains and vision for transit.

Renée Amilcar has led OC Transpo through a period of unprecedented change. She’s earned the trust of council and her leadership at OC Transpo will have a positive impact on our city for many years to come. I will miss working with her, very big shoes to fill.
