Remember when we celebrated Aaliyah Edwards Day back in May 14, 2024?🏀✨
Today, I had an awesome time as Aaliyah stopped by the office to officially pick up the proclamation and catch up - and she even brought me some amazing gifts!! Wishing you all the best @AaliyahEdwards_
Mental health, addictions, and encampments are complex challenges facing municipalities. Last week, OBCM urged the province for more tools, expand drug courts, and offer greater support to those in need. Thank you, @spaikin for the opportunity to discuss this crucial issue.
