Oshawa has a new best-kept secret. 🤫 I spent the evening at Teddy P’s Gin and Jazz at Black Box. It's a fantastic speakeasy-style experience right at 70 King St E. If you enjoy live jazz and a unique atmosphere, the next event is April 24th. Highly recommend attending!

A morning well spent! Councillor Chapman and I joined the Meals on Wheels program to deliver fresh meals to neighbors who have difficulty leaving their homes. Proud to support such a vital service. 🚚✨

Beyond proud of our grandson, Jim Lee Jr., for signing with the University of Guelph volleyball team! 🏐 Your hard work has paid off — we couldn’t be prouder. We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way, Jim!

A powerful morning at City Hall. I was honored to attend the Black History Month flag-raising and Proclamation ceremony. The weather was biting, but the community spirit was stronger! Thank you to everyone who showed up to honor this month.

congrats to our grandson and the Durham Attack Blast! They took Pittsburgh by storm this past weekend and are coming home with the Gold Medal! Watching these boys work together as a team is such a joy. All those hours of practice really paid off on the court. We are beyond proud.

Janice and I had a blast participating in the Teddy Bear Toss. Seeing over 2,300 bears fly onto the floor it was such a sight—and it’s all going to a wonderful cause at Lakeridge Health. So proud of this community for showing up and making a difference.
