Took a breather from the fast & furious pace of campaign life this evening to go to a very special book launch at @mcnallyrobinson.com. I laughed, I cried, and was reminded that the world may be on fire, but there are so many of us working to change that. Congratulations to all the poets & editors!

Speaking of tree-planting grants, I loved seeing the beautiful new grove of 21 trees planted at Valley Gardens Community Centre when I visited today. The planting was made possible by a Home Grown Grant through the City of Winnipeg. valleygardenscc.squarespace.com/blog/valley-...

I LOVED experiencing the Manitoba Hispanic Show this afternoon. It was a pleasure to visit with vendors & businesses, learn about non-profits doing vitally important work in the community, and see lively dance performances! Congrats to La Paila Canada for such a wonderful event!

It was really neat to attend the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program announcement this morning, as a board member of CNRC.
This funding will remove financial and logistical barriers to improving home energy efficiency for many low- to moderate-income Chalmers residents, including renters.

Dutch Elm Disease season has begun... last night I spotted three elms in my neighbourhood that look like they could have DED 😢🌳
The city's open tree database already shows almost 700 elms tagged with the orange dot of death, with many more certain to be added.
