It’s been one year today since I was sworn in as Councillor of Ward 12 Rideau Vanier within the City of Ottawa!
Every day since November 15th, 2022, my team and I have worked tirelessly to make Rideau our ward even better than it already is.
Rideau-Vanier is dynamic, vibrant and diverse. We wish to make Ottawa’s downtown core united and inclusive by offering the highest standard of quality of life for our residents. We will keep fighting to address inequality and continuously contribute to our residents’ well-being, always working collaboratively and with full transparency.
THANK YOU for making this first year so wonderful. I have the best residents in the city.
