Last week, I directed City of Ottawa staff to develop a plan to ease congestion caused by Highway 417 construction. Along with a third-party highway construction expert, Stantec, staff completed a thorough review of all available options to accelerate the work schedule.

Good morning Ottawa. Bonjour Ottawa.

The 40th anniversary of the Great Glebe Garage Sale brought thousands of people out onto the streets hunting for great deals, catching up with neighbours, and supporting the Ottawa Food Bank.

Meeting Roy Allen as he crossed the finish line of the Tamarack Ottawa 5K was one of the highlights of Race Weekend. At 100 years old, Roy became the first centenarian to complete the event. It was an honour to be there to congratulate him. What an incredible man.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support of our community. Together, we raised more than $117,000 for the End Youth Homelessness in Ottawa by 2030 Fund.

This weekend, I'll be participating once again in the Tamarack Ottawa marathon. But this time it will be a little different. I'm running to support our mission to end youth homelessness in Ottawa. I've raised more than $100,000 so far toward this goal.

Good morning Ottawa. Bonjour Ottawa.

Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is one of the best weekends of the year in our city. Thousands of runners and walkers will reach their goals on the streets of Ottawa, while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for important local causes. Good luck to all the participants!

Good morning Ottawa. Bonjour Ottawa.

For 75 years, the Soloway Jewish Community Centre has been a place where friendships were formed, families gathered, traditions were passed on, and people found a real sense of belonging. You can feel that history and connection the moment you walk through the doors.

Once again, Ottawa stepped up to support children and families in our community at the Kiwanis Feeds Kids event.

It was great to join AFP Ottawa Fundraising Day and spend time with so many people working hard to support important causes across our city. I know fundraising is not easy, especially at a time when organizations are facing growing pressure and demand.

Imagine being part of the generation that helped end youth homelessness in Ottawa. That goal is within reach. I'm in the final stretch to raise $100,000 for my Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend fundraiser to end youth homelessness in Ottawa by 2030 and we need your help to get there.

The congestion on Highway 417 resulting from laneclosures in the west end is unacceptable and extremely disruptive to drivers and also to residents in neighbouring areas. I've directed city staff to work with the Ministry of Transportation…

Great to be with Councillor Tierney for the opening of APS Aerospace’s new Ottawa office. This is exactly the kind of growth we want to see in our city, a local company investing here, creating highly skilled jobs, and building expertise that reaches across Canada and around the world.

I visited two John Howard Society supportive housing sites this week and saw firsthand the important work being done to help young people find stability, safety and support.

It is Paramedic Services Week in Ottawa from May 17 to May 23, a time to recognize the incredible work of our paramedics and support teams.

Incivility is on the rise. But it doesn't have to be this way. Sheema Khan writes in the Globe and Mail that Ottawa's City of Kindness Symposium showed "how acts of kindness help foster a sense of belonging and create a more caring, connected city." www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/8eb4022...

Nous avons accueilli à l'hôtel de ville des ambassadeurs et des diplomates de pays alliés afin de leur présenter la stratégie du Pôle d'innovation en matière de défense d'Ottawa-Gatineau. Ottawa-Gatineau dispose de nombreux atouts uniques.

We welcomed ambassadors and diplomats from allied countries to City Hall to share Ottawa-Gatineau’s Defence Innovation Hub Strategy. Ottawa-Gatineau has many unique assets.

It was a pleasure to join Minister Victor Fedeli, Minister Nolan Quinn, MPP George Darouze and David Ross for today’s announcement supporting Ross Video’s $122.5 million investment in Ottawa and Iroquois, with up to $6 million in support through the Invest Ontario Fund.

I was glad to join Councillor Brockington at the Older Adult Summit in River Ward. As Ottawa grows, we have to make sure people can age with dignity, stay connected to their communities, and get the support they need.

We’re getting close. This Sunday, I’ll be participating in the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend Marathon to raise $100,000 to end youth homelessness in Ottawa by 2030. We need one final push to get this campaign over the finish line.

Good morning Ottawa. Bonjour Ottawa.

My last summer of high school, I worked part-time at a brand new Tex-Mex restaurant at the corner of Fisher and Baseline. Now, 40 years later, the Lone Star has 22 locations across Ontario, including 8 in Ottawa. It was great to be back in the kitchen tonight!

Tons of people out enjoying the Byward Market. It was nice to check out the ByWard Market Vendor Village, celebrate Ottawa Polish Fest and spend time with some of the fantastic local businesses and vendors. Beautiful to see it so busy on a day like today.

It was a great day to check out the Westboro and Main Street farmers’ markets and a lot of people had the same idea. Beautiful weather. Busy stalls. Great local food and products.

Great to be at the launch of the new @airtransat.bsky.social direct flight to London Gatwick. This is an important new connection for our city. It was great to be there along with @ottawatourism.bsky.social and British ambassador Rob Tinline to wish the passengers a great inaugural flight. .
