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.
Thank you to everyone who made our third annual Vanier 5 km run a success! 104 runners (plus many dogs, and one dinosaur), showed up on race day. Together with our sponsors, Hydro Ottawa and Run Ottawa, we raised $2600 for Muséoparc!
The annual Vanier 5km race is not just a run. It’s an opportunity to see the historic and beautiful Beechwood Cemetery up close, it’s a chance to stroller, bike, run, walk, scooter with your friends and neighbours. It’s the only race in Ottawa that has the famous cookie medals done by Le Moulin de Provence and where 100% of the proceeds go towards Canada’s only urban sugar shack – Muséoparc Vanier.
There is an amazing team of organizers and volunteers for our Vanier 5 km run, and to them I say THANK YOU! Now in it’s third year, we are already thinking of how to improve things for 2026 and we hope to see you there!
