So impressed by the community who showed up and braved the cold for today’s #RunforSudan at Sir Casimir Gzowski Park.
Grateful for the chance to welcome runners to the ward and celebrate how public spaces bring us together—for movement, connection, and humanitarian action.❤️🤍🖤💚

It was an honour to participate in the Swansea Town Hall #RemembranceDay ceremony once again.
The commemoration of folks who served in wartime is near and dear to Swansea residents.
Lest we forget🌺

Local democracy isn’t outdated – it’s how we build better schools for our kids.
If the Ford government eliminates trustees, we lose more than oversight – we lose local democracy in our schools.
Keep education close to home.

Walking tours are such a neat way to meet new people and learn more about our neighbourhoods. I had a great time sharing welcome remarks and hearing stories on the #ExperienceTO Runnymede Historic Tour with Alex Rascanu. Looking forward to the next one!

Stood together as advocates outside Queen’s Park — united in calling for safety through care, not control. From our schools to our streets, real safety means investing in people, not punishment. #CommunityCare #NoToBill33

Parents gathered at Lucy McCormick SS to demand action on harmful cuts to special education.
When class sizes grow, students with disabilities are put at greater risk. Every child deserves safety and a fair chance to learn — not a system stretched beyond its limits, where parents bear the burden.

Collapsing Ontario’s 72 school boards into four isn’t just a bad idea, it’s reckless, undemocratic, and an outright attack on public education.
