Besides riding a bus for an hour and fifty, begging a resident for change for the bus (long story) and putting my tie on in the restroom, I was sworn in today at Regional Council alongside some really special people in Peel!

Meadowvale has Four bridges and multiple underpasses. I can ride the whole area and not touch a street. My kids learned how to ride their bikes by exploring the community. Makes me wonder why we got out of the bridge business?

Don’t get it twisted, RIDING transit is different than RELYING on transit. That trip with Uber would have costed 10 times more but would have been 4 times faster. I have a car I chose not to drive today. Not everyone has that privilege. Thank for the ❤️ today, peeps👊🏾

I am disappointed in Chartwell Retirement Residences.
The sale of their Heritage Glen Building, the false reassurance given to our seniors and July 31 eviction of #’s of seniors is absolutely deplorable. Furthermore, the “discount” on a future Chartwell residence is laughable.
