Fantastic night for @ArthritisSoc’s Celebrity Roast 30th Anniversary! Oscar's powerful story about his journey with arthritis & the invaluable support from Camp Joint Together was so inspiring. Shout out to the committee for their hard work in making this such a memorable event.

We did a thing. With federal money from Reaching Home, we purchased another condo unit. Within weeks it will be rented to a family who’s been homeless for a long time. Affordable rent, geared to income. Support as needed. Ending someone’s homelessness. It’s a good thing.

Due to legislative restrictions in the @hfxgov Charter, they cannot provide property tax relief for our businesses that suffered major losses in the wildfire. See my letter to the @TimHoustonNS to step in with a program similar to what we initiated while in government.

Please be respectful of the people and areas that have been the hardest hit. We need to show them our greatest courtesy as they go through unimaginable shock and grief. $10k fines can be levied for people found in evacuated areas. Think twice and put these people first.
