Century Manor, the last remaining building of the former Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital, is set to be redeveloped into affordable housing—a much-needed step forward. But this land, this building, and its deep history deserve thoughtful planning and community input.

It’s Official! I’m Running for City Councillor – Ward 8!
Yesterday I officially filed my nomination papers at City Hall, and I couldn't be more grateful for the encouragement, kind words, and support I’ve received from so many of you already.

Did you know we have a community fridge right here in Ward 8?It’s more than just a fridge—it’s a symbol of what makes our neighbourhood strong: compassion, sharing, and looking out for one another. Anyone can take what they need or donate what they can. No judgment. Just support.

🚧 Let’s Take a Trip… Through Every Pothole in Hamilton! 🕳️ (Okay, not every one — we’d need a longer video.) This video is a little tongue-in-cheek — but the issue is real. Our roads in Hamilton, especially right here in Ward 8, are in rough shape.
