Passionate public policy and non-profit leader. "The pin guy".
The difference a day makes! Yesterday morning we were 800 signatures short of our goal on Celiac Canada's food affordability petition. Today, we are over 2,000 signatures past the goal and still counting!

Thank you so much to everyone who has signed!

We're almost at our goal of 30,000 people asking the Federal government to make sure people can afford the medical diet people with celiac need.

There are ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT to sign and check your inbox for a verification email.

Have you ever found yourself dining with somebody who has celiac and wondered why they are asking so many questions about items that are clearly labeled "gluten-free"?

A slip up of just a few crumbs is enough to cause a serious reaction.

The city has a 10 minute survey up until the end of the month looking for input about how we want to see our parks develop in the coming years. It's a great opportunity to help share the city's parks planning. #ldnont

New federal government, new @celiaccanada.bsky.social petition! If you’re a Canadian citizen/resident, please consider signing this to help people with Celiac disease afford the cost of gluten free food (trust me, it’s expensive!)

I was pleased to make a motion at a recent meeting of the Community Advisory Committee on Planning that recommends Civic Administration provide more flexibility and cost-friendly options for owners to be able to preserve and protect the look of lower significance heritage properties.

Leduc, Alberta was named after the "first person to walk in" their first government telegraph office. That person was Father Hippolyte Leduc.

A bit of a delayed post, but I am grateful to have been appointed to the #ldnont Community Advisory Committee on Planning. Looking forward to serving my hometown in this exciting new volunteer role.

A huge thank you to Council for putting their trust in me and the other members of the committee.

I have been reaching out to federal election candidates in #ldnont to ask where they stand on this important advocacy for Canadians with celiac disease.

You can see who has responded to date, and what their responses were at sites.google.com/view/spencer...

I am supporting Celiac Canada in calling on federal candidates to support tax reform that will make sure Canadians with celiac can afford the gluten-free food that is our only medication.

Please take 30 seconds out of your day to send a letter to the party leaders.

The French name “la grande prairie” first appears on an early geological survey map referring to the large open prairie in the area.

A fun piece of #LdnOnt history from this week 169 years ago.

William Barker would go on to win the 1856 election (despite his temper and lack of discretion) and become London's second mayor. Elijah Leonard would win the 1857 election and become the third.

From the London Herald, January 15, 1857
