Hi Neighbour, It's been another busy week on the campaign trail! I've had the chance to meet so many new neighbours and have great conversations about what you're experiencing here in Kitchissippi and what you're looking for as our community continues to grow and change.

Hi Neighbour, Over the past week, I've had the privilege of speaking with hundreds of residents across Kitchissippi; at community events, on doorsteps, in local businesses, and through countless conversations. What I've heard and seen is clear: people care deeply about this community. They want more affordable housing, more reliable transit, and more trees and green space.
