Zoning seems like such a dry subject, but it's one I hear from residents about a lot! If you ever have concerns about a new development in your neighbourhood, a new business opening, or issues like backyard parking, those are all Zoning By-law questions.

Very appreciative of my time with the Copeland Park Community Alliance at their AGM this week. The work this team has done to launch some very successful community events over the last couple of years is staggering. #collegeward is very lucky!

🧵 There’s been some attention on the City’s new “donation button”. It’s an idea we talked about last year and that we were supposed to get a report on before proceeding. Maybe I missed it...

But here we are. And I have thoughts.

A most joyful and rich event celebrating the relationships that underpin the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition and our local urban First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities. Susan Aglukark as the keynote speaker was mind blowing.
