Ontario is proposing to make better use of existing highway infrastructure by allowing more drivers to access HOV lanes during off-peak hours.   The change would help reduce gridlock and give drivers more choice outside of the busiest commute periods.   Learn more: teamlumsden.ca/ontario-openin…

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the closing ceremony for the 2026 Canadian University Alpine Championships, hosted by Alpine Ontario.

At the opening ceremony of the @Little_NHL tournament in Markham, we celebrated the thousands of First Nations youth dedicated to the beautiful game of hockey.

Yesterday, I joined MPP @erniehardeman to check out the work at the Thamesford District Recreation Centre in the Township of Zorra that we’re supporting through the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund. Thank you, Mayor Ryan, Deputy Mayor Grigg, Sofia and Jason for showing us the progress that has been made to upgrade the refrigeration and keep this 50 year old facility up and running for community!

⛸️ Local rinks like the Ilderton Arena are where a love of sport begins — and where one of the greatest ice dancers in history, Scott Moir, first got his start. Through the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund, we’re investing in facilities across Ontario so more young athletes can have the same opportunity. Great to join MPP @PinsonneaultLKM, Mayor DeViet, council, and the local community to celebrate the arena’s grand reopening. 🔗 | middlesexcentre.ca/articles/ilder…
