Addressing the water capacity challenge takes action on many fronts. This made‑in‑#WatReg, container‑based solution is a fast, innovative project helping us get there. I saw it firsthand in Cambridge yesterday – take a look.

I had the pleasure of attending the Mother’s Day High Tea at @KitchLibrary. It was a lovely event with warm conversations, a beautiful setting & a chance to support a great cause. I'm grateful for opportunities like these that bring the community together.

It was a pleasure to hear from Minister @RechieValdez at the #BlackSwanConference today. Her leadership highlights the vital role small businesses play in building an inclusive, resilient economy. Thanks to Ismail Mohamed for facilitating a great conversation.

Handbags for Hospice is always a special evening for me. Beyond the fun & generosity, it supports @HospiceWaterloo's incredible work providing compassionate hospice & grief care across our community. Thank you to everyone who who makes this night possible.

Many people across #WatReg are asking important questions about water capacity. Here’s an update on where things currently stand. This is complex, hands-on work and progress is actively underway. Stay tuned for more updates as key milestones are reached.

Today, we pause to remember the victims of the 2017 Québec City Mosque Attack. In solidarity with the local Muslim community, regional sites are illuminated green as a symbol of remembrance, reflection & our shared responsibility to stand against Islamophobia in all its forms.
