Good start to the morning and sat in and listen to the very similar stories of municipalities in the United States that we have in Canada. The call for a higher order of government funding is a common theme that is shared I look forward to presenting this afternoon. @fcm.ca

The NLC will be hosting a guest speaker Monday. This will be the first group of individuals that the Vice President has spoken with. It will be an interesting event, and it is important to remember the significant influence that local governments can have.

Great to meet so many people from all over the United States at #ccc25 . Our colleagues south of the border @leagueofcities ( the equivalent to @FCM_online ) shared many experiences that we all have in common. NLC President Mayor Patterson, thank you for the great discussion today.

After my request at the Transit Committee to see how many electric buses have been received and are in service, OC Transpo has delivered the page they promised with the details. I appreciate their follow-through on this.

How was your day? Rideau River Blasting. Hopefully, this means spring is right around the corner 💥🌹💐🌺🌷

Although it still looks like winter out there, spring is on the horizon and Rideau River Flood Control operations underway! Although the ice surface appears to be frozen, it is unstable due to the ongoing blasting preparations and is unsafe.

Nothing gets the Roads and Parking Services team up and running in the morning like a Weather Advisory before 7 am. It’s better than coffee and they are ready to respond!

My colleagues and I are wearing pink shirts today (mine’s at the dry cleaner 😀) because kindness, inclusion, and respect matter. Pink Shirt Day is a reminder that bullying has no place in our communities. A small act of support can mean the world to someone who feels alone.

Great to hear from Daniel Tisch, Ontario Chamber of Commerce, at the first 2025 OBJ Mayor’s Breakfast. “Despite the challenges, I have never seen government(s) respond this quickly.” Like Bruce Springsteen said, “These jobs are going, boys, and they ain’t coming back.”

For the past week, crews have been working day and night on snow removal operations. It is a monumental task that will take weeks to complete given the sheer volume of snow on the transportation network. All city resources have been assigned to snow removal as well as hundreds of contractors.
