We remember their courage. We honour their sacrifice. We carry their legacy forward.

I was privileged to join veterans, serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, local leaders, and community members at the Trafalgar Memorial in Oakville to pay tribute to those who served and gave their lives for our country.

As fewer veterans remain to share their stories, our responsibility to preserve their memories and pass them on to future generations becomes even more important. We commit to honour our past, to preserve these stories and to remain worthy of the freedoms secured through such sacrifice.

A special thank you to Mayor-elect @JeffKnollOak, Oakville council, the Royal Canadian Legion, local cadets, and everyone who helped organize this meaningful Remembrance Day ceremony.

It was a pleasure to welcome team members from the Dark Matter Robotics Team at Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School to my community office.

We had a great conversation about their passion for robotics and STEM, and their desire to bring hands-on robotics opportunities to more schools and community organizations across Burlington.

It’s incredible to see young minds putting their creativity, curiosity and problem-solving skills to work through robotics, building the skills, confidence and innovative thinking that will help shape Ontario’s future.

The flag was raised at Burlington City Hall to mark Woman Abuse Prevention Month, a time to recognize the devastating impact of gender-based violence and reaffirm our commitment to ending it.

I want to recognize @HaltonWomensPl and the many frontline organizations and service providers who support some of the most vulnerable people in our community. Their work provides critical support, advocacy and pathways to safety for women and children affected by abuse.

Thank you to all those who are dedicated to supporting survivors and helping build a safer future for women and children in our community.

It was an honour to be invited by Venkata and the team at @ElitePhysioCare in #Oakville to tour their clinic and learn more about the important work they’re doing to support the health and well-being of residents in our community.

We had a great conversation about the role physiotherapy can play beyond injury recovery, particularly the importance of preventative care. We discussed how regular assessments can help identify concerns before they develop into more serious issues, as well as the importance of fall prevention, healthy aging and early identification of adolescent scoliosis, including the potential for greater awareness and screening in our Halton community.

It’s impressive to see community clinics like Elite Physio Care contributing to helping residents stay healthy and active.

Ontario's Open for Business!

This week I was pleased to join Premier @FordNation to welcome a $44 million investment from @concastpipeinc to establish a new, state-of-the-art, 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility right here in our Oakville community.

This investment will bring critical manufacturing capabilities to Ontario, create 15 new jobs and protect 186 existing positions, supporting more than 200 Ontario workers.

By strengthening our domestic supply chains and supporting local manufacturers, we are building a more resilient Ontario economy and making more #OntarioMade products right here at home.

A meaningful Remembrance Day ceremony was held at Oakville Estates, honouring those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

The ceremony included a moving reading of In Flanders Fields by resident and British Army veteran Lieutenant Colin Parsons.

It also marked Castle Living Group's launch of The Proud 305, recognizing 305 veterans, military spouses and retired members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police living in All Seniors Care residences across Canada.

305 stories. One legacy. Lest we forget.

Lest we forget.

It was an honour to attend the Remembrance Day Sunrise Service at the Royal Canadian Naval Ships Memorial in Spencer Smith Park in Burlington, and lay a wreath with my colleague @NatalieKPierre in tribute to those who served and sacrificed for our country.

This moving ceremony was an opportunity to honour the courage and dedication of Canada’s naval veterans, active service members, and all those who gave their lives in defence of our freedom.

Thank you to the Burl-Oak Naval Veterans, Halton Naval Veterans Association, President Fred Norman, and everyone who helped organize this meaningful tribute.

Today and always, we remember their service and sacrifice.

Today and every day, we honour the brave veterans who served our country with courage, dedication and selflessness.

Let’s wear a poppy, attend a local ceremony and take a moment to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our veterans and members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Today, I was pleased to announce the appointment of eight new Heads of Council for Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel, Waterloo and York regions, Muskoka District and Simcoe County. Congratulations to all!

Eight proven leaders with one common goal: to protect Ontario and build stronger, more prosperous communities.

These appointments bring experienced leadership to some of Ontario's fastest-growing regions, helping speed up decision-making, advance housing and infrastructure priorities, and create new opportunities for residents and businesses.

I look forward to working together to deliver on our shared priorities and ensure our communities remain great places to live, work and raise a family.

Honda’s latest investment in Alliston is a clear vote of confidence in the 4,000 world-class Ontario auto workers employed at the plant.

In the face of tariffs and economic uncertainty, we’re delivering on our plan to make Ontario more competitive so we can protect workers and attract job-creating investments like this one from around the globe.

RT @TrevorJonesCKL: Ontario’s first responders and veterans have dedicated their lives to protecting others. Today we’re investing in them.…

[Effie Triantafilopoulos @Effie_ONB]

Lest we forget.

It was an honour to join the Oakville community, @stcrawford2, and Oakville council members at the Bronte Royal Canadian Legion- General Chris Vokes Branch 486 Remembrance Day parade to lay a wreath and pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed for our country.

I was grateful for the opportunity to meet and speak with veterans, their families, and members of our community, including Bob, a 93-year-old veteran and constituent of Oakville North–Burlington. Bob served in the Royal Air Force and dedicated many years of his career at NATO. It was a privilege to hear about his service and personally thank him for his dedication to our country.

My sincere thanks to the members of Branch 486, local cadets, first responders, and everyone who helped organize this moving ceremony.

Today and always, we remember the courage, service, and sacrifice of our veterans.

Thank you to The National Herald for highlighting my thoughts on U.S.–Canada relations alongside fellow Greek-Canadian politicians Peter Fragiskatos and Annie Koutrakis.

As I shared, Canadians are looking for greater accountability, stability, and a renewed focus on the issues that matter most to their everyday lives, including the cost of living, economic uncertainty, and jobs.

Continued cooperation between Canada and the United States remains essential to protecting our shared economic interests and supporting families and businesses on both sides of the border.

November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month.

I was pleased to join Halton Women’s Place for their annual Hope in Every Step Walk at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington, with my colleague @NatalieKPierre and community members in support of survivors of domestic violence.

This important event raises awareness and funds to help women and children experiencing domestic abuse access safe shelter, crisis support, and the resources they need to rebuild their lives.

Thank you to Halton Women’s Place, its dedicated staff, volunteers, and everyone in our community who came together to support safer futures for women and children across Halton.

First responders are there for us in our moments of greatest need, putting themselves on the line to keep our families and communities safe.

Today in Oakville, I joined Labour Minister @TrevorJonesCKL at @oakvillefire Department to announce more than $7.1 million through Ontario’s Skills Development Fund Training Stream to support over 1,800 workers and jobseekers across the province.

This investment will provide specialized training for first responders including firefighters, police officers, veterans, military families and other frontline workers, helping them build new skills and prepare for in-demand careers.

Investing in the people who protect and serve our communities is an important part of our government’s commitment to #ProtectOntario and build safer, stronger and more resilient communities right here in #OakvilleNorth-#Burlington and across the province.

Celebrating 100 years of faith, culture, and community! 

It was a pleasure to attend the Centennial Gala celebrating the 100th anniversary of St. Volodymyr Cathedral of Toronto, held at the St. Volodymyr Event Centre in Oakville.

For a century, the Cathedral has brought generations of Ukrainian Canadians together, preserving their faith, traditions, and cultural heritage while building a strong and welcoming community.

A special thank you to Father Jaroslaw, John Holuk and everyone involved in organizing this wonderful celebration.

Congratulations on this remarkable milestone, and may the next 100 years be filled with continued faith, unity, and community spirit!

It was a pleasure to join members of Oakville’s Hindu community for the flag raising of Hindu Heritage Month at Oakville Town Hall!

November is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of hard-working Hindu Canadians, and to celebrate the many ways the Hindu community strengthens #Oakville and Ontario through service, culture, business, education and community leadership.

Thank you to Councillor @navnandaward7 for bringing our community together for this special celebration, and to Mayor-elect @JeffKnollOak and the newly elected and returning members of Oakville Town Council for their continued support of Oakville’s diverse communities.

Happy Hindu Heritage Month and Diwali! 🕉️
