Congratulations to Dr. Zeyad Hammad on the official opening of Nova Dental Centre. This new clinic, alongside the Canadian Dental Care Plan, will ensure that more Londoners are able to access high-quality oral health care. Welcome to Hyde Park, and to London West! #ldnont

Blame for the impending catastrophe facing Ontario's colleges and universities lies squarely with the Conservative government, rather than with the international students exploited to fill the revenue shortfalls Doug Ford created in our system.

You probably heard about the corruption in the Greenbelt Scandal. But have you heard about the Skills Development Fund? Watch this great explainer from Marit Stiles, breaking down Doug Ford's latest corruption scandal. app.sosha.ai/s/PbDftu8x

I appreciated the opportunity to meet with London midwife Meagan Furnivall at the Association of Ontario Midwives reception at Queen’s Park. Every Ontario family who wants midwifery care should be able to access it.

A productive conversation with the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters about practical solutions to strengthen competitiveness and build talent pipelines, including increased investments in our postsecondary sector.

Ontario Genomics partners with colleges & universities to drive Ontario’s economy through commercialization, innovation and research. I appreciated the opportunity to learn how they are supporting made-in-Ontario solutions to complex problems in agriculture, energy, environment, healthcare and more.

London firefighters and the OPPFA were at Queen’s Park to talk about the importance of presumptive coverage for exposure and to push for simultaneous notification to keep Ontarians safe – it’s time for the Ford government to roll this out province-wide.

Shout-out to London realtors for travelling to Queen’s Park to meet with MPPs about @ OREA recommendations to increase housing supply.

Thank you to the Workers Action Centre for their tireless efforts to prevent wage theft and strengthen protections for Ontario workers.

So many delicious food options at the London Muslim Mosque Multicultural Food Bazaar!

At colleges and universities across Ontario, jobs are being eliminated, student services are being cut, programs are getting cancelled, and entire campuses are shutting down. Without increased operating funding now, the cuts are just beginning. #onpse #onpoli

I'm always so impressed by the leadership and advocacy of OUSA, CSA, and OSV to strengthen postsecondary education in Ontario and ensure that students’ priorities are heard. We need to increase investment in our colleges and universities to give young people the future they deserve.

I am deeply troubled by reports of white nationalist groups demonstrating on the Wortley Road overpass. These extremist groups thrive on fear and division, and we reject that. London must remain a safe, inclusive, and welcoming place for everyone. Read our full statement.

Today I asked the Premier why he continues to ignore the calls from Ontario students, employers, and local communities as he continues refusing to provide the permanent increase in operating funding our post-secondary sector urgently needs. #onpoli #onpse

It was a beautiful morning for another terrific Hyde Park Santa Claus Parade! Congratulations to the Hyde Park BIA, Hyde Park Lions, and many sponsors and volunteers who bring the parade to life for our community. And thank you to everyone who came out to join the fun and support the food bank!

It was a pleasure to meet with Pam Tobin from the Canadian Mental Health Association - Thames Valley who was at Queen’s Park with other representatives of CMHA to advocate for increased support for community-based mental health to reduce waitlists and expand desperately-needed services.

It was great to meet with members from London Police Services at Queen’s Park for the OPA Advocacy Day to talk about some of the challenges facing our community, and how the government can better support uniformed and civilian staff dealing with work-related PTSD.

Today, Abacus Data released a new study in partnership with Colleges Ontario that overwhelmingly demonstrates Ontario's support for greater investment in our college sector. Read their report here: abacusdata.ca/building-a-f... Read my full statement here: www.ontariondp.ca/news/sattler...

Thank you to the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses for an informative discussion about the issues facing Ontario small businesses, and CFIB priorities for government action.

I was pleased to meet with the Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs to discuss the changing scope of paramedicine and particularly the growth of community paramedicine. Thank you to the OAPC for your service to our communities.

I appreciated meeting with London-area insurance brokers at Queen’s Park. With insurance costs rising, the work that IBAO brokers do to protect consumers has never been more important.

Thanks to the Council of Ontario Universities for coming to Queen’s Park to showcase how universities strengthen Ontario’s Life Sciences sector. We need more public investment in world-class research like Western’s Pathogen Research Centre to expand opportunities & improve lives. #onpse #onpoli

University faculty & staff are the backbone of our postsecondary system. Great to meet with @ocufa.bsky.social reps from @uwofa1.bsky.social, King’s & Huron. With record enrolment, Ontario needs more investment, not more red tape, to keep our campuses strong. #onpse #onpoli

Always an honour to join veterans, their families and those who serve to remember the courage and sacrifice of our brave Armed Forces personnel. With veterans Michael Poole and Thomas Pitt at Parkwood, Silver Cross mother Angela Cameron-Joly and family at the Byron Legion, and MPPs at the cenotaph.

Last week's economic update should have included meaningful, sustainable funding for Ontario's post-secondary sector. #onpse #onpoli

Another thank you to UFCW and OPSEU's Mental Health and Addictions division for our productive conversations, as well as to the Alliance for Healthier Communities for having me at their reception. I always appreciate learning directly from the folks supporting our communities across Ontario.

It’s been a busy few weeks at Queens Park, filled with various meetings that allowed me to learn more about the challenges facing communities across Ontario. Thank you to Life Science Ontario, the Ontario Dental Association, and the Ontario Kinesiology Association for these productive meetings.

During Remembrance Week, I was proud to highlight the volunteers of the Byron Springbank Legion, supporting London’s veterans since 1952. Nov. 11 is a solemn time to honour the bravery, courage, and sacrifice of those who have served and those who serve today. Lest we forget.

Today at Queens Park I called on the government to provide the increased operating funding Ontario colleges and universities urgently need to support our communities and our economy. #onpse #onpoli

800,000 people are out of work. And now, with Bill 60, Doug Ford wants to raise rents and make it easier for people to lose their homes. Marit Stiles and the Ontario NDP are fighting to Stop Bill 60. Visit StopBill60.ca to take action now.

While starving our public colleges of funding, this government is forcing public colleges to compete with private colleges for Skills Development Funds, through a process the Auditor General called “not fair, transparent or accountable." #onPSE #onlab #onpoli #SaveOurColleges

The Government is asking Ontarians to share their experiences, challenges, and priorities, to assess the current poverty reduction strategy and to explore opportunities for the next strategy. MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD on this important issue. 🧡 Click the link below: www.ontario.ca/page/consult...

At Queen’s Park, I once again presented petitions calling on the government to immediately double social assistance rates. Visit www.peggysattler.ca/double_social_assistance_rates to learn more and download the petition.

A new report from the Workers’ Action Centre identified wage theft as the #1 issue facing workers, with over $200 million dollars stolen by employers in the last 10 years. Yet the Ford government’s “Working for Workers” bills continue to leave this issue unaddressed.

Join me for a community screening of Prime Minister! This award-winning documentary chronicles Jacinda Ardern’s time as New Zealand PM, shining a light on her empathetic approach to leadership. FREE to attend, but space is limited, so you reserve your seat early: peggysattler.ca/screening.

Doug Ford scrapped ticket protections —and now Jays fans are priced out of the World Series as tickets resell for $1000s. The Ontario NDP’s plan is simple: ban resale above face value. ✅️ Sign my petition at peggysattler.ca/fairticketprices ✅️ Email Doug Ford at tinyurl.com/fairticketpricesnow

I tabled a petition calling on the government to stop the cuts to Algonquin College’s AAADD program: a vital program that helps students with developmental disabilities pursue postsecondary education and build life skills.  Every student deserves the chance to learn, grow, and succeed.

I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Islamic history at the @isnacanada.bsky.social Queen’s Park Reception in honour of #IslamicHeritageMonth. The display showcased leading Muslim Canadians, including Dr. Wael Haddara and Nazem Kadri from London, Ontario.

With leadership from the Canadian Federation of Students, more than 10,000 students from #onPSE campuses across Ontario signed petitions demanding that Doug Ford keep his #HandsOffOurEducation by repealing #Bill33.

Many thanks to the Srishti Foundation, community sponsors, phenomenal performers, and all who attended a joyful 2025 Diwali Dhamaka! May the festival of lights bring happiness, prosperity and peace to everyone celebrating in London West. Happy Diwali! #LdnOnt #HappyDiwali

Ford's Conservatives are once again showing no respect for taxpayer dollars, funnelling public money from the Skills Development Fund into the hands of corporate insiders and PC friends. The AG called it "not fair, transparent, or accountable." Just like the Greenbelt. #onpoli

800,000 Ontarians are out of work. 1 in 6 young people can’t find a job — and Doug Ford has no plan to fix it. “No Plan” Doug Ford is a Jobs Disaster. DougFordsYouthJobsDisaster.ca

Art has such power to heal, to unite, and to resist. Thank you to Salvadoran embroiderer and visiting artist Teresa Cruz for bringing together #WesternU students, faculty and staff to express solidarity through needlework against rising authoritarianism #ThreadsThatUniteUs #LdnOnt

Solidarity with striking postal workers!

Heartening to see so many people from the community (including King’s University Social Work students Felicity, Lily and Nourhan) at the N'Amerind Friendship Centre Sunrise Ceremony to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay #NDTR #LdnOnt

Amazing show of solidarity today with OPSEU college support workers, pushing back against Ford’s cuts to postsecondary education. Lots of honks of support from Londoners who know colleges like Fanshawe fuel our local economy and deliver the skilled grads our community needs. #LdnOnt #OnPSE

Thank you to the 30 student associations who joined my #Bill33 town hall and raised their concerns about the risks Bill 33 poses to essential services and equitable access to #ONPSE. I will continue fighting for investments in post-secondary and representing student voices at Queens Park.

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.

It's tree planting season, and I am thrilled to partner with Reforest London for a National Tree Day tree giveaway! Residents of London West can stop by community office this coming Wednesday, September 24 to get your free seedling! (First come, first served, while supplies last.) #LdnOnt

It was empowering to join #LdnOnt survivors, advocates, & allies at #TbtnLdn to call for an end to gender-based violence. Women's safety is non-negotiable. Endorse the #ConsentAwarenessWeek Act & download the petition: peggysattler.ca. #TakeBackTheNight #WeBelieveSurvivors #CAW2025
