  I had a blast volunteering at the WR Labour Council’s Ed Weidinger Memorial Labour Day Picnic! Working the inflatable obstacle course brought me back to my high school days working as a lifeguard at the water park 😎 I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the unions and civil society groups at the picnic who are working toward a better future for all of us. #kitchener #wrpoli #watreg

  As co-owner of Full Circle Foods, I work with local farmers and producers, helping neighbours to make local and zero-waste shopping decisions. Together, we’ve saved over 167,000 single use packages from the landfill. We can think global and act local in Kitchener to do our part for the planet.

  Signs are going up all across Ward 10! Big thanks to the volunteers who are helping me distribute our first 100 signs today 😁 more on the way. A lawn or window sign is a great way to show support. Fun fact, the number of Sam Nabi signs in pollinator gardens is very high, something I love to see 🐝

  At today’s Queen Margaret festival, it was a pleasure to connect with neighbours and participate in a leaf printing art workshop — thanks Michelle and Abby for showing me the ropes! Folk art, storytelling, music, and crafts… these are the kinds of events that strengthen our relationship to each other and to the natural world. #kitchener #watreg #wrpoli

  We deserve approachable government! If you’re a first-time applicant for a business license or building permit, city hall shouldn’t assume you have a team of consultants and experts at your disposal. We can better support people trying to make their neighbourhoods a better place by exploring a staff liaison role, similar to what already exists in the neighbourhood office to help recipients of LoveMyHood grants. What do you think? https://youtube.com/shorts/03-3gmpFd9M?feature=share

  I’m in excellent company for the Best of Waterloo Region shortlist 💕 Thank you to The Community Edition for making space to celebrate what makes this region a wonderful place to live, work, and play. We need local journalism now more than ever. As this publication enters a new chapter, I hope it can be a strong voice in a media landscape that has lost some of our most important local coverage recently. #Kitchener #WRPoli #WatReg

  Thank you for your endorsement, Yvonne! It means a lot to have the support of someone with your experience as a fierce supporter of your community and of our shared environment. #Kitchener #WatReg #WRPoli

  5 weeks to go! This is not a drill. I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the 30+ volunteers, 60+ donors, and 180 residents who requested a sign. We have real momentum, and it feels like this election will be a close one. If you’ve been waiting to get involved, now is the time to act. Send me a message or leave a comment below. We have a place for you on this campaign. #Kitchener #WatReg #WRPoli https://youtu.be/glsRM7fTemI

  In the community over the past two weeks… Kind Minds Family Wellness launched their Sankofa Families Project. Take Back The Night took over Gaukel Block. Supportive Housing of Waterloo showed a screening of their documentary. Friends of Huron Natural Area gathered for a picnic. At the Terry Fox Run in Kitchener, I cheered on Jeremy and friends. We celebrated CAFKA’s 25th anniversary. Tiny Home Takeout had their annual fundraiser. Climate Fest was a rousing success. 😁

  Climate adaptation in 2026 looks like taking a heat exhaustion-induced nap after work beside my struggling a/c unit, waiting until the outside temperature turns from sweltering to just hot, and soaking in the nighttime city. It’s 10pm and a roofer is working above King Street. I can still smell the humidity. Karaoke music wafts from an open window. A family with children gather around a public art piece to take selfies, illuminated by street lamps. I find a quiet parkette to read a book. #dlws

  The cherry blossoms in Cherry Park are one of my favourite hidden gems in this city. I love how the neighbourhood association leans all the way in to the theme with their annual Cherry Festival! Thank you to all the volunteers who make this happen, and the community organizations who show up to make it a memorable experience 🍒 #Kitchener

  Do you forage in the city? Would you like to see more edible plants in parks, along city streets, and in public flowerbeds? #eatlocal #foraging #urbanharvest #kitchener #wrpoli https://m.youtube.com/shorts/qcFjI5NLpNU

  Our team spent today door-knocking in a downtown high-rise, where many neighbours mentioned that they love Kitchener for its plethora of events and festivals. So of course I had to swing by the KW Palestine Festival this afternoon to enjoy some of the best maamoul date cookies I’ve ever tasted 😋

  With today’s Kitchener Takes The Stage event, the city has announced its intention to become an “emerging music city”. We deserve a city where artists can afford to live, find studio space, and build their fan base at every stage of their career. #music #Kitchener #dtklove

  Afrovibes lit up downtown with high energy and international talent! What a night 🪩 This is an example of a grassroots event that saw a need for greater presence of afrobeats music in our community. Four years later, it’s going strong and an important part of our summer festival lineup. Congratulations to Peter and the organizing team 👏

  Thanks to everyone who came out to our Community Conversation on housing last week. It was a great chance to have some more in-depth discussions and connect the dots between affordability, liveable neighbourhoods, and sustainable development. #kitchener #housing #wrpoli #rentals #infill #missingmiddle #urbanforest

  Today is World Day Against Trafficking In Persons. In our community, human trafficking occurs at almost three times the national rate, and many more cases go unreported. Social isolation and systemic marginalization can increase someone’s vulnerability to exploitation. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the “What are the warning signs” and “What can you do” sections on SASC’s site: https://www.sascwr.org/ahtp.html

  Join me and the campaign team for our second community conversation! This time we’ll focus on parks, including the discrepancy between park availability and the amount of parkland fees collected for new development in each area of the city. Come drop in, enjoy some light refreshments, and meet a new neighbour or two. It’ll be fun! #kitchener #wrpoli #watreg

  It’s time for Kitchener to enact a private tree-cutting bylaw that includes smaller lots, and that doesn’t give blanket permission to clear-cut trees for redevelopment. Programs like @reepgreen Tree Trust can help property owners with the costs of maintaining these large older trees, for all our benefit. Way to go! Do you have a favourite tree in your neighbourhood? Let me know in the comments 👇 https://youtube.com/shorts/Ukm2Xkj6Q0Y?feature=share
