It was a fantastic morning in Riverside South for the Riverside South Community Association @Move100Ottawa Toy Mountain Parade! A big thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the fun and support this wonderful cause. @SteveDesroches Ce fut une matinée fantastique à Riverside South pour le défilé de la montagne de jouets de l'association communautaire de Riverside South ! Un grand merci à tous ceux qui sont venus s'amuser et soutenir cette merveilleuse cause.

Last night, we joined Councillor @BrownWard21 and the Manotick community to light the Christmas tree, kicking off the holiday season. It was amazing to see everyone sharing in the fun together! Hier soir, nous nous sommes joints au conseiller Brown et à la communauté de Manotick pour allumer l'arbre de Noël, donnant ainsi le coup d'envoi de la saison des fêtes. C'était incroyable de voir tout le monde partager les festivités ensemble !

Last night, the community came together in the most beautiful way at the 27th Annual Santa’s Parade of Lights in Orléans! Organisée par l'Association des pompiers professionnels d'Ottawa, cette incroyable tradition a illuminé les rues et recueilli de généreux dons de jouets le long du parcours du défilé.   Ginny, the kids, and I were thrilled to join the enormous crowd alongside Councillors @TimTierney, Matt Luloff, @catherinekitts, and Laura Dudas.   Thank you to everyone who came out, and to our amazing firefighters for making this event happen year after year. Merci à tous ceux qui sont venus et à nos formidables pompiers qui permettent à cet événement de se dérouler année après année.

Onyx is trying out a new one-sided mustache/goatee style. What do you think? This six-year-old cat is laid-back and affectionate, and his favourite things in the world are getting pets, snacking on treats and relaxing in a cozy lap. Adopt Onyx: ow.ly/2PJG50QP9C2

Happy Mahashivratri! We celebrated this sacred occasion at Central Sweets in Papineau, where people have been coming for years to pick up tasty snacks and treats. So glad we could spend some time together today.

Local Canadian brewers are valued parts of communities across our country. Today we’re announcing additional relief and support for Canadian brewers by capping the excise duty increase for two years and cutting taxes for small craft breweries.
