Your @CAA membership isn’t just for cars—it works for bikes too! 🚲

When one of our team members got a flat on their cargo bike, CAA Bike Assist stepped in and helped get the bike to a repair shop. So handy! 🙌

Have you ever tried CAA Bike Assist?

I had the pleasure of joining MP Julie Dabrusin, MP Mona Fortier, and Sharon Coward from @EnviroCentre to announce a federal investment of $4.3 million in five energy-efficient renovation projects, including $2 million for the EnviroCentre project at Carver Place. 💡🏘️ These upgrades will help residents save money, reduce energy consumption, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. 🌍📉

These improvements not only enhance sustainability 🌿 but also create local jobs, improve affordability, and set a new standard for energy-efficient, affordable housing in Ottawa. 💼🏡

A big thank you to @EnviroCentre, MP Julie Dabrusin, MP Mona Fortier, and the Carver Place residents for their leadership. Together, we’re building a greener and more affordable future. 🌟🏘️
