Happy Family Day, everyone.

To the good people of Tumbler Ridge: we see you - not as a distant headline, but as neighbours whose burdens we feel in our own bones. Our hearts break with yours, not in pity but in shared belonging, As the nations come together in Italy, Canada comes together at Tumbler Ridge.

Every day, the great folks at RBC Place make dozens of quality meals for the homeless. They have done it for five years and made thousands and thousands of meals. These good Londoners have made a massive difference. Thanks to them and RBC Place for the fine example of citizenship.

In such a fraught world, things can just feel so hopeless. But when we throw our weight behind the meaningful things, we understand that somewhere, somehow, we can still make a difference. Building a better world doesn't happen without such decisions. #LdnOnt

Soooooo, yesterday, London's Senior Women Team Chaos won the silver medal at the Ontario Senior Games in Bracebridge. A proud moment for the entire team. This is as Norman Rockwell would have captured it. #LdnOnt

These numbers were from a year ago. Today, every category has gone up. We help approximately 6500 families a month, over 40 agencies and assist over 90 meal programs. Despite this serious increase, Ldondoners continue to donate and meet the demand. Thank you, London.

Tomorrow night (Thursday) at 5:30 p.m. on Rogers TV London, Jane is interviewed b Sacha Long for the "London Food Bank @40.". they talk about her motives for the community, working in a co-director situation, and the future challenges for the food. Tune in,.

Every party faces this. Political conventions are supposed to gather a nation’s better instincts. But when they turn inward - when applause replaces listening - they become echo chambers. And a country cannot be understood from inside an arena alone. We must come together in these decisive moments.

Derek Ruttan was a community treasure because his London Free Press photos were priceless. A remarkable storyteller in a remarkable time. We were more honest as a community with him. A tribute. youtu.be/hPnD95C6_qI

Some recent announcements from the federal cabinet will make a difference for food banks across the country. Though not the ultimate solution, these measures will bring some direct relief to food banks and their clients. Here's how it works. youtu.be/uwf_J_p-ep0

If we are preparing more children for a hungry future, then we have not misunderstood tomorrow - we have failed to tell the truth about today. Hunger is not a forecast; it is a verdict on the present we chose to tolerate. #LdnOnt

Canada was shaped not by the clenched fist, but by the open hand. We learned early that in a vast and fragile country, you do not rule one another - you make room. So we negotiate, again and again, kknowing that coexistence is its own quiet triumph. #LdnOnt

Canada's future looks promising, yet if we continue to capitalize our gains and socialize our losses, the mushrooming homelessness, hunger, and gap betwen rich and poor will turn us into a land of haves and have nots. If continued, 30% could suffer food insecurity by 2035. youtu.be/KeJ9xIaff6k #

This happens every day - hundreds of times a day. We see it and it's so humbling. London mobilizes to meet such demand. The London Food Bank is merely the channel for that kind of care. It's inspiring. Thank you, London. #LdnOnt

"We should live in a country so decently organized that food banks are unnecessary. But they are presently the humble places of generosity stand between fragile lives and utter collapse. Yet until we build that society, they are the thin, grace-filled line holding chaos at bay ” ... Glen Pearson

Martin Luther King Jr. did not just change laws; he changed the moral weather. He reminded a restless nation that history bends not by force alone, but by the quiet, stubborn courage of people willing to love their enemies and insist that justice is a form of belonging. We honour him.

I post similar data about child hunger in London every few weeks. People respond by saying something should be done. But it doesn't happen. I don't know what to say. They are our future. #LdnOnt

The London Food Bank doesn't jut serve those coming directly for help. Iit helps numerous feeding initiatives across London. 60% of our food drive collections also go to those groups. It's our mandate to help those vital operations since they serve at the front lines of human care. #LdnOnt

It stands to reason that if you build up structures while our humanity is breaking down, only a few will benefit from such actions. Talk of change while tolerating hunger isn't reform at all but the status quo. It shrinks future possibilities for our children. #LdnOnt

Citizenship moves from being something one possesses to something one inhabits. If we can master this as Canadians, then our future looks promising. It akes collective effort, but we're worth it. Our kids are worth it. #LdnOnt

On Vounteer Corner, meet a couple who have had rich volunteer experience in Vancouver, Windsor, and now London. Here they talk about why they like volunteering at the London Food Bank so much. We appreciate them both. youtu.be/XdEmeqRJoOo

Canada’s challenge is not to abandon its politeness, but to deepen it - to root civility once again in shared life. Without that rooting, loneliness will continue to hollow out our virtues from within. It's time for us all to re-engage. To build a better future. #LdnOnt

Here's the full end-of-year video of my message to all of our great volunteers at the london Food Bank. The organization works as it does because our many volunteers work as they do - dedicated, compassionate, and highly flexible. We are blessed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=axta...

They spent so much time doing the extra work over tholidays and here they are, bright and early, back for more. These two staffers have brought a whole new potential to us. youtu.be/YGLnBFb1bsY

Rather than request donations furing this holiday week, we just wanted to take the proper time to express our deep thankfulness for generosity that went above and beyond. You recharged our batteries for the challenges that now lie directly before us. Thank you, all of you. #LdnOnt

We all went through a lot in 2025 - times of both uncertainty and promise. Now's our chance to build even better in this new year.

Merry Christmas everyone, Peace to us all.

Christmas gathers the long memory of love, sacrifice, and promise, and then sends it forward into the lives we are still becoming. Thanks for including us as part of the journey, London - and for all the marvellous generosity. Happy holidays. #LdnOnt
