Congratulations to @ariel-gordon.bsky.social!! So exciting!

See you all here tomorrow night:

Again thanks to @mmarginet.bsky.social for her @winnipegfreepress.com op ed on the need for funding #publictransportation. We need to invest in #WinnipegTransit from all levels of government to improve our service, then on a moral basis to lower our fares for access to all. #Winnipeg

Public comms on vaccine availability in #Manitoba is definitely lacking this year, but appointments in various pharmacy online platforms are starting to pop up. Some out there for shoppers, too.

😍

This will be a great event on Sunday. I'm sorry I can't make it - if any of my Bluesky pals go, please let us know how it goes! westendculturalcentre.thundertix.com/events/251275

Friends!! That'll Never Work Here by @pattybikes.com is now out in the world! You can pre-order from McNally or your favourite bookstore for release on Oct 28. This is Book 2 in The City Project series, and I am so proud of Patty, and to have been part of this book's journey!

For all you lovers of spooky season!! 👻 www.bikewinnipeg.ca/events/?civi...

We went to the sacred fire relatives are holding for Kerry and Egor. Fire keepers still need wood, medicine, and donations to support the feast at the end. Sacred fire is at 46 Grove St until 5:55 pm Thursday.

My heart just breaks for the families & loved ones of the two people who were killed by an impaired driver on Kenaston this weekend. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I always love getting the Trees Winnipeg newsletter! A good reminder that this year's fall ReLeaf sale starts tomorrow at 10am at releaf.tw. Also, there's a spotlight on community tree-planting grants, which I'm a big fan of, naturally!! mailchi.mp/treeswinnipe...

My friend and colleague in community volunteering @emmaewood.bsky.social is running in the Elmwood-East Kildonan by-election. She's a tireless community servant. Consider donating to her campaign: www.emmadurandwood.ca/donate

I completed the nomination process at City Hall this afternoon, which makes it official: my name will be on the ballot in the upcoming Elmwood-EK by-election!

What are you doing on November 8th? If you like biking or Taylor Swift, you will not want to miss @pattybikes.com's book launch!! www.mcnallyrobinson.com/event-18842/...

I LOVED experiencing the Manitoba Hispanic Show this afternoon. It was a pleasure to visit with vendors & businesses, learn about non-profits doing vitally important work in the community, and see lively dance performances! Congrats to La Paila Canada for such a wonderful event!

Endings & beginnings 💔❤️

It was really neat to attend the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program announcement this morning, as a board member of CNRC. This funding will remove financial and logistical barriers to improving home energy efficiency for many low- to moderate-income Chalmers residents, including renters.

Yesterday night I rode #wpgTransit home from volunteering. This was well outside rush hour and, my pals, these buses are FULL. We need some serious investment in Winnipeg Transit asap!! #winnipeg #wpgpoli @sherrirollins.bsky.social @scottgillingham.bsky.social 1/

I'm blushing. Thanks for believing in me, Brian! ☺️

Remember, we’ll never get a good sense of what people will do under safe conditions, by watching what some are willing to do under unsafe conditions. Building smart mobility is about supporting the choices we need more people to make, by providing smart, safe, enjoyable infrastructure for them.

"Oh, you're a cyclist?" No, I'm a commuter who cycles. I used my bike like some people use a bus, and others use their car.

Nice to see a refreshed corner store in Winnipeg’s Elmwood neighbourhood. The world needs more corner stores. Cities need more neighbourhoods built to accept and support them.

Hello friends! We're having a fundraiser next weekend... come and eat pancakes with us!! There will be awesome raffle prizes, plus you'll get to meet great folks who share our vision for a better Elmwood-EK & Winnipeg. Tix are $25; kids 12 & under eat free. Hope you can join us 😊🥞

Some great ideas for dealing with derelict properties here.

#Winnipeg. Winnipeg!! Call this number, I promise you will not regret it. I’ve already gotten advice from Bill’s dad plus dating advice and I still have a smile on my face.

My piece today in the @winnipegfreepress.com on investing in fossil fuels. It’s not where the puck is going. Decision-makers need to look ahead, not backward Judging from Mr. Carney’s list of proposed projects, he prefers to trap us in the fossil fuel past. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

I'm so excited for and proud of @pattybikes.com for her forthcoming book, That’ll Never Work Here: Challenging the Myths Around Biking in a Winter City! The book comes out Oct 28, and you can pre-order your copy now! greatplainspress.ca/books/thatll...

So great to see @tyler-crichton-wpg.bsky.social's wonderful initiative in the news! www.winnipegfreepress.com/our-communit...

Frequency IS freedom! And Winnipeg's new transit system needs a lot more of it!

Our volunteers are the best! Elmwood-EK is looking beautifully turquoise!

Can't wait to read this book.

Love seeing new development on Osborne. Nice wide sidewalks, beautiful street lighting... But where are the trees????

This is so cool! From the Pollock's newsletter: "We are excited to announce that we will be hosting Repair Cafe in our parking lot on Sunday, Sept 7th! Repair Cafe is a group of volunteer repair enthusiasts, donating their skills to help others keep their items working and out of the landfill. ...

In a world full of so much misery, you can ALWAYS rely on bollards to make things better. #WorldBollardAssociation

Finally had a chance to check out the pedestrian street pilot on Graham Ave... LOVE the potted trees!

Great time, as always, at the Chalmers Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation (CNRC) Elmwood Night Market. Great info booths, performances, local vendors, and food trucks! And so many helpful CNR staff & volunteers.

The weather wasn't great but everyone made the best of it at the Elmwood Night Market last night! One fun new addition to the event was the Handle the Heat hot wing challenge with sauces all made by JC's Tacos. Kudos to these brave souls!!!

Incredible to see this billboard up in Vancouver. So happy to have worked with the amazing people @visionzerovancouver.ca visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/08/02/d...

A fascinating visual guide on what makes great streets 😍 open.substack.com/pub/postsubu...

Really enjoyed this ride... Great to learn more about what works & what's still needed for safe & comfortable biking in Elmwood-EK. Thanks @bikewinnipeg.bsky.social & @adamjwpg.bsky.social for the invite!

I cannot recommend this art exhibition by Nigerian-born, Winnipeg-based visual artist Habeeb Andu more. The subject matter is heavy — the kidnapping epidemic plaguing his home country of Nigeria — but well worth sitting with. My story here:

LOVE THIS! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yikes.

Excited for one of my favourite neighbourhood days today: ChalkFest + Meandering Music in Glenelm! Looks like a beautiful day for it ...clear air and blue skies and not too hot! www.glenelm.ca/chalkfest/ www.glenelm.ca/music/

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

Good Air Alert! Good Air Alert! Open the windows, walk outside, take a big deep fresh breath #Winnipeg! The sky is actually so blue!

Alexander Docks will become one of Winnipeg’s great riverfront parks — a place for everyone to gather, reflect and enjoy the water. The Forks has a strong record of developing and maintaining public spaces that are engaging and safe, and I’m confident they’ll do the same here.

Fantastic!

On the fence about how powerful lower urban speed limits are? Please read this piece by the mayor of London! ✅ Fewer costly collisions & life-altering injuries ✅ Cleaner air w/ less toxic pollution ✅ Cheaper auto insurance rates ✅ Quieter neighbourhoods that are more walkable/bikeable
