I had lots of fun serving holiday lunch at 280 Rochester yesterday, a wonderful seniors’ @och-lco.bsky.social community. Great to see volunteers from Engineers Canada and the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation there too (including a former mayor).

OCH joined housing leaders at CHRA’s Housing on the Hill Day to meet MPs, Senators & partners like Build Canada Homes CEO, Ana Bailão.

Community housing is an investment in Canada’s future and Ottawa is ready with shovel‑ready projects.

It was my privilege to stand with the Talented @OCH_LCO Team as they were named Best Non Profit at the #BOBS2025. So proud of the work being done every day to care for and build nonprofit housing communities.
Honoured to be named Best Non-Profit at the #BOBs2025!
Affordable housing is more than bricks and mortar—it’s about dignity, inclusion & creating conditions for people to thrive. Thank you to our partners for helping us make Ottawa a city where everyone has a place to call home.

Under the current rules in Ontario, e-bikes cannot travel faster than 32 km/h, nor can they be modified to go faster than that.
They can weigh up to 120 kilograms (!)
