Joined local organizer Chris, @tkavanaghbayward.bsky.social and @seanDevine9.bsky.social to protest the Province’s elimination of speed cameras. Thanks to residents both east and west for standing up for road safety and our most vulnerable: kiddos. And way to go to the kiddos who led our chants!

Thank you Councillors @seandevine9.bsky.social @lainejohnson.bsky.social @Tim Tierney @tkavanaghbayward.bsky.social @rawlson.bsky.social @stephanieplante.bsky.social for coming out to save our speed cameras and keep school zones safe. We know our fight will not end here.

Tomorrow is provincial day of action against the removal of life saving speed cameras in Ontario. Two events happening in Ottawa * Woodroff School 8:15am * Queen Elizabeth School 8:45am Join our family friendly protests if you can. Details in the poster.

“Feel like 'a normal person again': resident “ These stories are important reads - a home with the appropriate supports is invaluable to so many. And for those frugal Cons it’s also more cost effective.

This is why we want drivers to slow down. (Typical injuries shown for the average adult. It’s even worse for kids.)

Yes! Thank you @tkavanaghbayward.bsky.social ! "Tewin's just way out there, and that is a problem," she said. "We're talking about water mains and infrastructure…[t]hat is very, very expensive, not including the transit system that we would need." 1/ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
