@MariannMeedWard @burlingtoncofc 🤣

Thank you to the Burlington Chamber of Commerce (@burlingtoncofc) for hosting their Business After 5 event at City Hall last night! It’s always a pleasure to connect with our business community. Thanks to all who joined us!

Hi, Just a reminder that Bruce Cockburn hits the road March 1. Hope we see you at show or two.

@GarrettBugay Your first @springsteen concert will be a life changing experience! 💥

In 2022 I decided to start listening to Bruce Springsteen. Over the next 12 months, I listened to his entire discography TWICE. Tonight, I’m finally getting to see the legend live!

@Keith_A_Hoey You should have left this sign behind. They haven’t broken even since you left.

It was 5 years ago today that I walked out of the Chamber office for the last time. After 15 years as the Chamber President, it was a big, emotional step. I loved my job at the Chamber but I love retirement more. I still connect with many of the great volunteers I worked with.

@MariannMeedWard @stolte4ward4 @SeanFraserMP @karinagould @PamDamoff @vankayak What happens if the grant is not secured?

#BurlON City Council unanimously approved a resolution I brought forward with Deputy Mayor for Housing Councillor Shawna Stolte at our Dec. 12 meeting to help us secure important federal funding and emphasizes enhancements that will further support the recommendations in our City’s Housing Strategy and demonstrate Burlington’s commitment to addressing the housing crisis.

It is critical to get funding the federal government is providing to municipalities. One of the conditions in the Housing Accelerator Fund announced by the federal government, was a commitment to allow four units as of right. Yesterday, Burlington Council unanimously endorsed me sending a letter to Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Minister Sean Fraser detailing not only that, but also highlighting a pilot project to eliminate parking minimums in some of our Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs) and endorsing the federal government's recent announcement regarding consultations to bring back a wartime housing effort with a catalogue of pre-approved designs that could help streamline process and get housing built faster.

Happy to work with Deputy Mayor for Housing Counc. Stolte and City staff to bring this resolution forward and we thank our Council colleagues for their unanimous support on this.

There is $40 million on the table for Burlington, so we’re hoping the federal government sees that we are eager to do our part to meet housing needs and we’re willing to make some bold changes in order to secure that funding for our community.

@vcmancinelli 🙌

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. In Canada, a woman is killed every six days due to intimate partner violence. 1 in 3 women and girls will experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetime. As we mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women we stand with all women, in all spaces. We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to prevention, support and action against GBV. In memory of all who we have lost and a strong commitment to fight for the living. To any woman or girl who feels unseen, unheard or in fear of coming forward for no one will believe, we are with you. I am with you. I will be joining @IntervalHamOnt for an important announcement this morning on the work underway at Victoria and Friends Emergency Shelter that will continue to have a direct impact on our community.
