After starting the process in April, grateful to Regional Council for supporting my motion to ban election signs on Regional roads.

Places of worship can become significant partners in helping to provide affordable housing in Waterloo Region - what a great expression of their faith!

[MennoHomes @MennoHomes]

Have you heard about the YIGBY movement? It means Yes In God's BackYard and encourages underused church buildings to work with affordable housing developers to create new partnerships and more homes. We, of course, think that's a great idea! https://t.co/wU6nhYdlU7

@RegionWaterloo @mlmwaterloo Congrats, Mike, and thank you for your inspired leadership at the RoW and (in particular) your unwavering support for @WaterlooEDC over the past five years. I look forward to catching up/staying in touch with you, my chronologically more mature friend. 

Cheers/stay awesome!
