Easter is here, and for many in our community, it carries a deeper meaning rooted in faith, hope, and renewal.
ㅤ
It’s a time to reflect, to reconnect with what matters most, and to spend time with the people who ground us. As spring begins to take hold, it also brings that sense of a fresh start and new energy.
ㅤ
Whether you’re marking the occasion through faith, tradition, or simply time with family, I hope it brings peace, perspective, and a moment to pause.
ㅤ
Wishing everyone a meaningful and peaceful Easter.

Pâques est arrivée, et pour plusieurs dans notre communauté, c’est un moment porteur de sens, marqué par la foi, l’espoir et le renouveau.
ㅤ
C’est l’occasion de prendre un moment pour réfléchir, se recentrer sur l’essentiel et passer du temps avec ceux qui comptent. Avec l’arrivée du printemps, on ressent aussi ce vent de renouveau et d’énergie.
ㅤ
Que vous souligniez cette période par la foi, les traditions ou simplement en famille, j’espère qu’elle vous apportera paix, clarté et un moment pour ralentir.
ㅤ
Je vous souhaite à tous de joyeuses et paisibles Pâques.

Tout est là
It’s the moment our streets, and quite frankly all of us, have been waiting for. After a long, busy winter season that seemed like it was never going to end, spring cleaning is about to begin in the Urban core on April 6! Cue the street sweepers, spring has arrived! Let’s wash away winter, one curb at a time. Be on the lookout for temporary “no parking” signs. Vehicles parked where these signs are posted will be ticketed and towed to nearby streets. Parking restrictions apply to all vehicles, including those with on-street parking permits.Resident patience and co-operation to keep vehicles off the streets during this period is appreciated.
C’est le moment que nos rues, et franchement nous tous, attendions. Après une longue saison hivernale bien remplie qui semblait ne jamais vouloir finir, le grand nettoyage de printemps va commencer dans le centre urbain le 6 avril! Place aux balayeuses de voirie, le printemps est là! Balayons les dernières traces de l’hiver, un trottoir à la fois. Soyez attentifs aux panneaux temporaires « stationnement interdit ». Les véhicules stationnés là où ces panneaux sont installés recevront une contravention et seront remorqués vers des rues avoisinantes. Les restrictions de stationnement s’appliquent à tous les véhicules, y compris ceux munis d’un permis de stationnement sur rue. Nous remercions les résidents pour leur patience et leur coopération pour garder leurs véhicules hors des rues pendant cette période.
Sorry, what was that @jackieperezofficial ? 😅

WE HAVE LIFTOFF 🚀
It was incredible to see hundreds of people come together outside the National Arts Centre on Wednesday, April 1 to watch the launch of Artemis II especially with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen on board.
It was especially meaningful to see so many people from our community out there, including families and kids experiencing what is truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Watching their excitement as the launch lit up the Kipnes Lantern on the NAC’s front façade along Elgin Street really captured how powerful it is to bring moments like this right into the heart of our city.
C’EST PARTI !
C’était incroyable de voir des centaines de personnes se rassembler devant le Centre national des Arts le mercredi 1er avril pour assister au lancement d’Artemis II, d’autant plus que l’astronaute canadien Jeremy Hansen était à bord.
C’était particulièrement émouvant de voir autant de membres de notre communauté présents, notamment des familles et des enfants, vivre ce qui est véritablement un moment unique dans une vie. Observer leur enthousiasme alors que le lancement illuminait la lanterne Kipnes sur la façade avant du CNA, le long de la rue Elgin, a vraiment montré à quel point il est puissant d’amener des moments comme celui-ci en plein cœur de notre ville.
Heading over to check this out tonight—something you don’t see every day, and it’s happening right here in Ottawa.
Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen is part of the Artemis II mission, marking a return to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. A big moment, and Canada is part of it.
The @nac.cna will be projecting the launch onto the Kipnes Lantern, turning the building into a five-storey screen for the evening.
📍 National Arts Centre (Kipnes Lantern)

Je vais aller voir ça ce soir—un moment qu’on ne voit pas tous les jours, ici même à Ottawa.
L’astronaute canadien Jeremy Hansen fait partie de la mission Artemis II, marquant un retour vers la Lune après plus de 50 ans. Un moment important, et le Canada en fait partie.
Le Centre national des Arts projette le lancement sur la lanterne Kipnes, transformant le bâtiment en écran de cinq étages pour la soirée.

🚧 Parks Maintenance Notice - Bovine-derived natural liquid fertilizer ‼️
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving green spaces across the city, we will be conducting a two-week organic soil enrichment program in all municipal parks beginning April 1.
This initiative will utilize bovine-derived natural fertilizers to promote stronger, healthier turf for the spring and summer seasons ahead.
Residents may notice a distinct rural aroma during the first several days following application. While this is a normal (and, some might say, farm-fresh) part of the process, we kindly recommend avoiding treated park areas until the program is complete.
We appreciate your cooperation as we work to enhance the quality of our shared outdoor spaces.

A busy and productive day in and out of Toronto
Started off with visiting the Ontario Legislature and speaking with Ministers and MPPs.
( Special thanks to MPP George Darouze for the shout out in the Legislature. I’m officially part of Hansard now.)
Next, had the privilege to be invited again to speak this year on behalf of Fcm at the Good Roads Conference.
And last, I had the great opportunity to sit on a panel discussion about The State of Local Democracy along with Mayor Christa Lowry ,Cheryl Fort President, Good Roads; Moderated by Nigel Bellchamber
Also great seeing fellow elected officials and former presidents.
A lot of great exchanges, knowledge sharing now back to Ottawa because I have an early morning tomorrow.
