The City’s Election-Related Resources Policy (ERRP) and its procedures prohibit Members of Council who are seeking re-election in a municipal election from using City resources such as office budgets and staff for newsletters and general communications from August 27, 2026, up to and including October 26, 2026 (known as the “blackout period”). As a sitting Member of Council, I must adhere to the City’s ERRP, meaning that this website will not be updated during the blackout period.

My office remains open to deal with day-to-day constituency matters.

Councillor Report: Strengthening Protections Against Construction Encroachment

Does this unfortunately look all too familiar to you?
 
Construction projects that trespass onto neighbouring properties, damage fencing or landscaping, or ignore approved conditions are becoming too common.
 
At the Emergency Preparedness and Protective Services Committee on Thursday, May 28th at 930am, I’m bringing forward a report to recommend that the City strengthen protections for residents and improve enforcement, and we want to hear from you.
 
If you, or someone you know has been impacted by incidents like this, you can register to speak at committee either in-person or online. Those interested must register by the end of day, May 27th.
 
📅 May 28 – Emergency Preparedness & Protective Services Committee – 9:30AM.
🗣️ Residents can register to speak (up to 5 minutes)
