This comes as X is increasingly a space for spreading misinformation and hate that disproportionately targets queer people and other marginalized communities - all of which continues to go unchecked by those who moderate this platform.
Had a great time with friends in Port Dalhousie yesterday. Even got a chance to hit up Lakeside Park and ride on the free carousel, something I’ve probably done every summer for more than 40 years. Good memories.
Quick note to let Ward 2 residents know our office will be closed on both Monday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 1. We’ll be back on Wednesday, July 2. As always, reach out at [email protected] or (905) 546-2197. Enjoy the beautiful weather if you can! #HamOnt
Appreciate this opinion piece in today's @TheSpec. I mentioned James Street South and Bold Street at a recent town hall as I have a motion coming forward in the short term to address it. Always good to bring awareness. Pedestrian safety matters. #HamOnt https://t.co/AEYjoe8bWs
After a few technical hiccups kept the Gore Park Fountain from running, it’s back up to full strength after some needed repairs. On these warmer days it makes a huge difference. Hope you’re able to get out to enjoy the weather this weekend! #HamOnt
Over the past year, including today, signs with my name posted near Jamesville have been popping up - a clumsy attempt to blame me for the sins of my predecessor. This rather nice example made its way back to me and now hangs in my office. Keep being you #HamOnt. 💞
This week's heritage highlight focuses on the history of Shorty Green water fountains in Hamilton. Water fountains are more than just functional, they're part of Hamilton’s civic and cultural heritage. Let's dive into it. #HamOnt
Yesterday was my first day back on the Hamilton Police Service Board after the Province’s 15 month investigation found I didn’t commit any misconduct. It was a packed six hour meeting. Here are some of the highlights. #HamOnt
In July, the third floor of the downtown YMCA location, which experienced fire damage last year, will reopen to residents. This was made possible by a motion during the budget process to commit $350,000 in Ward 2 reserve funding to dedicated wraparound support services. #HamOnt
Join me, the Ward 2 team, and local advocacy groups to discuss tenant issues, connect with your downtown neighbours, and learn more about how tenants can organize for better living conditions and more affordable housing this coming Thursday, July 10. Details below. #HamOnt
It was a hot one today but loved joining in the annual Maria Del Monte Procession in the Central Neighbourhood. Thanks to all the volunteers who have kept this traditional alive for nearly 40 years in our downtown. #HamOnt
James Street North is full of love and celebration today. Check out the Hamilton Italian Heritage Festival or come down to the water’s edge to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. Great day to be in Ward 2! #HamOnt
Lots happening in our City today and this weekend. Hope to see you out at the waterfront to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, in the Central neighbourhood for the Hamilton Italian Street Festival, and tomorrow for Open Streets. #HamOnt
This week's heritage post is focused on celebrating Pride month so we'll be looking at the recent heritage designation of 53 King Street East in Gore Park, the historic home of one of Hamilton's only queer spaces, The Embassy. #HamOnt
Earlier this month, I mailed out information to each and every Ward 2 resident. It was sent not only to update everyone on some important issues facing our downtown, but also to report back on the progress I've made on the platform priorities I ran on in 2022. #HamOnt
🕯️ One month ago, a fire at Hughson & Simcoe displaced several North End families. Dafna Bener shares the stories of Julia, her kids, and fellow tenants. Not all residents have been identified, but every family felt the impact. #HamOnt
