Nous sommes heureux de voir le chef Roger Chapman et son équipe obtenir ce qu'ils méritent.
Les conseillers municipaux ont été nombreux à se joindre au maire et au président de Brockington pour la première journée de reconnaissance des services de règlements municipaux. Ce soutien n'est pas surprenant compte tenu de la tâche difficile que nous leur avons confiée.

There was a great turnout of councillors join the Mayor and Chair Brockington for the inaugural By-law and Regulatory Services appreciation day. The support is unsurprising given the tough job we've given them. Glad to see Chief Roger Chapman and his team getting their due

A few words about the proposed Gladstone/Gilmour bike lane, why I refuse to pit cyclists and transit riders against each other, and how I am working to improve the plan that is currently out for public consultation.

We won’t “leaf” you behind: After Thanksgiving, yard waste pickup is extended until 8 pm. If you aren’t keeping your leaves, help them get sorted to the right place by putting them out at the curb in brown bags or another suitable reusable container.

I've been up to something. For many, it's not worth making a big deal of it. But for me, it's been a goal for a long time. I started commuter cycling from #collegeward. I think it makes sense to share this as my entry into the #weekwithoutdriving challenge.
