Got a chance to try out the Ottawa West Winter Trails. The conditions were excellent for skate skiing. So proud to be a sponsor and support the work of amazing volunteers who groom these trails. I highly recommend them.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

It was my privilege to stand with the Talented @OCH_LCO Team as they were named Best Non Profit at the #BOBS2025. So proud of the work being done every day to care for and build nonprofit housing communities.
Honoured to be named Best Non-Profit at the #BOBs2025!
Affordable housing is more than bricks and mortar—it’s about dignity, inclusion & creating conditions for people to thrive. Thank you to our partners for helping us make Ottawa a city where everyone has a place to call home.
