Ribbon cutting for the new Acute Care Tower at RCH! 160 years of RCH bringing care & compassion to those in need - now with $2Billion of investment by the Province since 2020! It was fitting that the health care professionals who work do this work every day were centred in the celebrations! #NewWest

The 3rd Thursday in April is (apparently) National High Five day! This was a great opportunity to visit sites across #NewWest and thank the people who keep the city running safe, clean and fun with a well-deserved high five!

Hey #NewWest. I love this City for the same reasons you do: we take action & act with compassion, work together to lift one another. I'm proud of the region-leading work we've done on Housing, road safety, infrastructure, inclusion, & more. We we have more work to do. Let's keep moving forward.

Here is the last (but not least!) of my Top 10 List for #NewWest for 2025: boosting support for non-profits & community partners who make the city thrive. Arts, culture, festivals, sports & everything that brings New West together. Happy New Year everyone, let’s make 2026 the best year it can be!

Number 9 on my #NewWest Top 10 for 2025 is the reduction in crime we have seen over the last year. The Crime Severity Index is a national statistic, and ours is lower than it’s been since pre-COVID and now much lower than the provincial average. www.nwpolice.org/blog/2025/07...

Number 8 on my 2025 Top 10 list is the new long-term service agreement that will keep the QtoQ Ferry running for the long term. This is a unique and fun feature of the #NewWest riverfront that keeps residents of Queensborough and the entire community connected.

Number 7 on my list of Top 2025 #NewWest accomplishments is a small one when it comes to budget, but big in community impact. The Youth Climate Action Team created and implemented a project to daylight Glen Brook & create a legacy toward a stronger future. www.newwestcity.ca/mayors-youth...

#6 on my 2025 Top 10 list is our regional leadership on addressing new housing regulations. This includes developing a made-for-#NewWest approach that meets our regulated housing targets today and funding tools to assure we can build the parks and pipes a community needs to thrive into the future.

Half way through my list of my 2025 Top 10 #NewWest accomplishments highlighting investments we made this year in pedestrian safety and comfort. Sidewalk widening, crosswalk improvements, changing signal timing, and launching Vision zero…
