It was warming to see #Waterloo gather in such large numbers this morning at the #RemembranceDay2023 service as I laid a wreath on behalf of Canada. This support reaffirms, “at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.”
Lest we forget. #CanadaRemembers
Cybersecurity and privacy are on the minds of Canadians and I hear it from constituents of #KWawesome. @mastercardca investment in @UWaterloo_CPI builds on 🇨🇦��s Cyber Security Strategy to detect, deter and disrupt threats to the Canadian cyber landscape.
It’s that time of year when #KWawesome celebrates K-W #oktoberfest. One of the highlights of this festival is the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I’m #givingthanks for and to our community — I appreciate you and your efforts. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Oktoberfest! Keep well and safe.
Jomi told me that in Grade 10 she wrote a poem, “Just A Young Black Girl”.
Fast forward 2 years, now recent high school graduate, Jomi Oyediran, published her poetry book, “Blooming – My Way to Becoming”.
Miss Jomi, congrats on your Book Launch & your scholarship from @HowardU.
Appreciation lunch for Yash @Classic_Indian for joining our Waterloo constituency office during the month of July. Yash is a student at Cameron Heights SS and he spent some of his summer completing the co-op experience with our team. Thanks Yash and good luck in grade 11!
“The #CSJ Program offered us a great opportunity to gain real work experience and create meaningful impacts.”

Welcome back to #KWawesome@FilomenaTassi! Today the @FedDevOntario Minister came to @RegionWaterloo to connect with academics, entrepreneurs, and citizens as the #GoC strives to support local economies & highlight the people, potential, and possibilities in the @CityWaterloo.
While we've come a long way in 🇨🇦, we know that we still have more to do, including combatting racism and discrimination in all its forms. It will take every single one of us to build a better and consciously more inclusive Canada for all.
Wishing everyone a happy Canada Day.
Saddened to hear of the attack that took place yesterday @UWaterloo, but not surprised. Hate exists in our communities and it must be condemned in all forms. Violence should have no place in 🇨🇦. We all have a role to play.
Our hearts go out to those injured and all impacted.
Today at 3:15pm, our campus community will gather in the Arts Quad in recognition of the shocking attack and trauma we endured yesterday.
Remarks will begin at 3:30pm followed by a moment of silence at 3:37pm.
Celebrating Eid al-Adha and marking the end of the Hajj with friends – new and old – this afternoon. To Muslims who are doing the same across the country and around the world: Eid Mubarak!
Celebrating my dad's birthday with sweet treats. Thanks Mr. Puffs Waterloo for making this special day extra delicious with choco-loco puffs! #shoplocal
On June 12, 2023, the @nuggets, in game 5 against the Miami Heat, captured their first NBA Championship. Jamal Murray, like me, was born in #KWawesome. He played at the @SPCAKitchener, and to NBA Champion @BeMore27, know that you make #WRawesome & Canada proud. Congratulations!
The lives of three generations of the Afzaal family were taken in an appalling and cowardly terrorist attack two years ago. Today, we remember #OurLondonFamily – Talat, Salman, Madiha, and Yumna – and we stand with Fayez. We must, and we will, keep working to combat Islamophobia.
Indigenous Peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. As we mark #NIHM2023, let’s continue to listen to – and learn from – their stories, histories, and cultures. Only then can we truly walk the path of reconciliation. https://t.co/kHnPij9Qj5
Pride is not just a season – it’s who you are, 365 days a year, and recognizing the strength it takes to live authentically.
This Pride Season lets show Canada, and the world, how diversity and inclusivity make us stronger.
