Aujourd'hui, c'est le 50e anniversaire du drapeau franco-ontarien ! Nous avons commencé les célébrations à l'Université Laurentienne. Nous sommes très heureux que notre chef Marit Stiles soit parmi nous pour cette occasion spéciale !

Congratulations to @Urbanwindowsanddoors as they celebrate their remarkable milestone of entering their 20th year of dedicated service to the Greater Sudbury community.

Leo Gerard was a giant of the labour movement. From Sudbury to the world, he fought for fairness, dignity, and justice. My condolences to Susan, his family, and union siblings everywhere. His legacy will inspire generations.

Happy Rosh Hashanah! As you celebrate this special holiday, may you and your loved ones be blessed with peace, prosperity, and joy. Wishing you a sweet and fruitful New Year!

Narathri Garba at the Sudbury Arena! Thank you for having me. 🙂

Last Saturday, Bay Used Books in #Sudbury celebrated their 50th anniversary!! Congratulations to the Bouffard family for keeping this local nook going, and creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere. 📖

A big congratulations to the Sudbury Workers Education & Advocacy Centre on their 12th anniversary ! They provide essential services to vulnerable workers in our community, and it has been a privilege to watch the organization grow all these years. Cheers to many more! 🎉

I was happy my staff could attend the #Sudbury rally with OPSEU today, as I'm in Niagara for the ONDP Convention. They had lots of support! #solidarité Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU)

This Sept marks the first official Ukrainian Heritage Month in Ontario! It's a time to celebrate & learn about the rich culture, traditions, and contributions of Ukrainians. Let’s honour their history, celebrate their achievements, and stand with them as they continue their brave fight for freedom.

Ford’s college cuts are hurting Northern Ontario students and communities! We stand with @OPSEU college support staff.

Sincere thanks to @jamiewestndp.bsky.social, @heathermcpherson.bsky.social, @jameshasaface.bsky.social, Raymond Bhushan, Taras Natyshak and all of our guests for taking some time to learn about the important work Society members do everyday to reduce CO2 emissions and power our economic growth.

International Plowing Match. When Farms grow, Ontario grows and Canada grows! #FarmersFeedFamilies

I want to thank Society of United Professionals Union President Rebecca Caron for arranging a NDP Tour of Bruce Nuclear Power. I was joined by MP Heather McPherson, former Ontario NDP MPP Taras Natyshak, and James & Raymond from ONDY.

There is an expression about fighting with one hand tied behind your back. I think of it whenever I think about Terry Fox. Terry Fox ran a marathon. Every day. On one leg. He didn’t do it for Terry. He did it to raise money for cancer research. He did it for others. And inspired a nation.🇨🇦

Woke up craving snacks-snacks from Chamos Foodie! 😋 #ShopLocal

It can be difficult to determine between information and misinformation. That’s why I was excited to join with professors, alumni and new students at the Vale Living with Lakes Centre to celebrate Laurentian’s Science Communication program 20th anniversary.

I'll be the ring announcer for Project X Wrestling's next event, HalloSream🎃👻. It will be on Friday October 3, 2025 at The Caruso Club - Società Caruso. Come check it out!!

Ford’s refusal to invest in colleges, while at the same time funnelling public dollars to private companies, has created one of the worst crises Ontario’s colleges have ever faced. More than 10,000 full-time college support staff are on strike in #Ontario and they need porper support! @OPSEU

📣 Are you looking to develop your leadership skills? I was part of the 2017 GGCLC cohort and I think it's an amazing opportunity for upcoming leaders. Check out their website for more details. The deadline to apply is September 30th.

I had a wonderful evening with Sault Ste. Marie’s next MPP, Lisa Vezeau-Allen and her incredibly supportive team! Thanks for having me.

I'd like to encourage everyone to check-in with each other today. Don't ever be afraid to engage in open and honest discussions about suicide. 🖤 #breakthesilence #changethenarrative #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Honoured to attend the Robinson Huron Treaty Gathering in Sault for its 175th year. Bill 5 (provincial) and Bill C-5 (federal) both ignore the important roles that elected governments have in ensuring that First Nations Treaty Rights Holders are respected as sovereign nations. #ScrapBill5

📣 🏆 ATTENTION GOOD NEIGHBOURS 📣 The MPP is launching his annual Good Neighbours Award for #Sudbury! If you know someone who deserves to be recognized for their kindness and commitment to the community, please click the link below and nominate them today. Deadline is Sept 30th! Good luck everyone.

As school has sprung this is a reminder that my staff are Commissioners for Taking Affidavits if you need an official declaration for OSAP or other provincial related matters. You can check out my website to see the kind of forms we can and cannot sign: jamiewestmpp.ca under Services and Supports!

Adams is one of my favourite volunteers. He volunteers with me, with the community and with his church. Volunteers, like Adams, are what make Sudbury Greater. Today I surprised Adams with a Provincial Scroll recognizing his family’s 1st year in Canada!

Had an insightful meeting this week with Asif Panhwar and Alice Bom of the Sudbury Chapter of the Professional Engineers of Ontario. Thank you for the thoughtful gift.🧡

Thank you so much to the Ghanaian Canadian Association of Sudbury for inviting me to your Official Inauguration Ceremony! What a great way to end the summer, supporting diversity, multiculturalism and community.

Recently had an interesting meeting with Jeby James and Amandipp from Enabled Talent! They're building a job platform that connects people with disabilities to inclusive employment opportunities, helping employers meet DEI goals while unlocking untapped talent.

Ontario's prosperity is powered by its universities. We're tackling labour shortages & driving innovation by preparing grads with skills for key sectors like clean tech, life sciences & advanced manufacturing – securing Ontario's economy ➡️ ontariosuniversities.ca/wp-content/u... #ONpse #ONpoli

I wrote to the Minister of Labour as I continue to hear from students who are facing issues while trying to write their trade certification exams. The North needs more testing centers and we need these technical issues addressed now in order to grow our skilled trades workforce!

JOIN the Ontario NDP for a virtual townhall to mobilize against Bill 33! Bill 33 gives the Minister of Education sweeping powers to strip away local democracy and hand control of our schools to unelected, unaccountable Conservative insiders. #HandsOffOurSchools RSVP at the link below.

Come visit my team at @CambrianCollege during their Services Fair from 11am-2pm!

🚨**REMINDER**🚨 Wednesday is the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL for many kids in Sudbury. 🚸 Let’s be extra-vigilant for school buses and kids. 🚌 And, let’s be extra-patient and extra-kind with moms, dads and families who might be having an emotional or hectic morning! ❤️

I’m a proud Steelworker. Today, on my way to Sudbury’s Labour Day, I reminded myself that all Canadians deserve a safe workplace that pays enough to make ends meet: rent, food, bills - and a little left over at the end of the day.

Happy Labour Day Everyone!! Bonne fête du Travail à tous !

Beautiful weather for Sudbury’s Top Glove Boxing Car Wash & BBQ Fundraiser.

Yesterday, Réseau Access Network held an Open House for #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay. This epidemic, fueled by the toxic drug supply and lack of services in Canada, continues to devastate our communities, with Northern Ontario tragically overrepresented in the death toll.

Proud to present Thriving African Families with a Legislative Scroll recognizing their 1st anniversary. In just one year, this organization has achieved 10 of their goals, with programs that positively affect families of African descent at all ages and at all income levels!

Seems legit! 🤦‍♂️

Last week at CSG Senator Alison Clarkson (Vermont) and I moved a resolution that reminds member states, provinces and territories of our shared values, ongoing friendships and intertwined shared supply chains and financial prosperity. Happy to report that this resolution was unanimously accepted!

Thank you to @NWMOCanada for an insightful tour and presentation about long-term DGR storage. With 55-70% of Ontario's grid coming from nuclear power, it is important to have a plan for the long-term management of used nuclear fuel.

"In reality, it’s a power-grab — and another step toward centralizing authority in order to sideline communities, parents and students." #OnEdu #onpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I had a wonderful time at AfroFest this weekend! (And so did my mom!)

Thankful to Elizabeth Beisel, for sharing her Olympic medals and her stories with us at CSG. Elizabeth shared her love of swimming, the loss of her father, and the importance of finding silver-linings in everything we do! #LifeIsToughWeAreTougher

Timber isn’t what you’d call a “morning dog”. 😜

Here’s what I can tell you about Garuda Restaurant in Lasalle: 1. The food is amazing! 2. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly! 3. Sam and I want to go back soon! Thanks again to Shanthi & Ash and the whole Garuda Restaurant team (go check them out at 1893 Lasalle).

Settleinn is a new organization downtown #Sudbury (right next to the bus depot!) that are helping newcomers and students settle into our community. They empower individuals to transition with dignity and ease by offering housing, transportation and essential supports.

Last week I had a great conversation with Rotaract members in #Sudbury to discuss youth engagement, advancing local initiatives and strengthening public services in our community. Thank you for your commitment to a better tomorrow!
