Municipalities are spending billions on housing & homelessness support, far more than provincial and federal investments. We need a new approach with meaningful collaboration & additional investment from all levels of government. https://t.co/QHAF1ajd8x

Last year, homelessness increased by 30% in rural communities, and 37% in northern Ontario. Municipalities cannot solve this problem alone. We need meaningful collaboration and contribution from all levels of government. https://t.co/QHAF1ajd8x

Today I used Strong Mayor Powers to restore bike lane maintenance while not impacting or raising property taxes at all. I refused to raise property taxes in the manner I was being asked and pressured to do. A compromised position is the best way forward.

Lots of inquiries regarding the pickup of bagged yard waste lately. Fair enough! Crews are out still collecting them, so, keep those bags out please! Keep them at the curb too. Thank you all for your patience, there was a larger than normal amount that’s just taking a bit longer!
