So proud that Budget 2025 invests $80 million over four years to the Terry Fox Research Institute, supporting their incredible work in cancer research so more Canadians will have access to modern treatments they need to thrive. ❤️

We honour Terry best by continuing the journey he began. 🏃‍♂️

I’m pushing to see that we have deeply affordable opportunities in Shannon. I believe rent geared to income and other options in the affordability spectrum are crucial.

Your point is well received.

I’ve attached the two complete explanatory notes from the BCH FAQ

Thanks for this
Those are minimum definitions listed for BCH, not what the entire redevelopment of Shannon could or should be.

CLC is still finalizing their phase 1 plan & what that affordability will look like. They’re guided by the work of affordable housing experts www.clc-sic.ca/newsroom/aff...

Didn’t rise

First meeting was a good one! 🍃♻️

The name “Africville Seasides” was chosen by community members to honour their championship-winning hockey team, which played in Canada’s first and only all-Black men’s league in the early 1900s.

A powerful name, for a place with powerful meaning.

—displaced by racism, but the spirit of Africville lives on through the resilience of its people and the strength of the families who for over 120 years on this land built a vibrant, close-knit community rooted in history, pride, and deep connection to one another.

But what made this facility’s opening especially meaningful was standing alongside members of the Africville community to celebrate the naming of the building: Africville Seasides. 🏒

This land carries deep significance. It is part of the historic Africville community—

From March 2024 to July 2025, CBSA officers at this new facility seized:
🚗 189 stolen vehicles
🌿 Nearly 2,000 kg of cannabis
💊 Over $200 million worth of narcotics
That’s what frontline border enforcement looks like—keeping Canadians safe.

This isn’t just another federal building. The MCEF is a critical part of our national security and economic infrastructure. CBSA officers here are on the front lines—intercepting drugs, weapons, and stolen vehicles before they reach our communities.

One meaningful moment of the summer was joining members of the Africville community to celebrate the opening of the new Marine Container Examination Facility (MCEF) at the Port of Halifax.

Whether you’re spending the day at the beach, at a community event, or enjoying a backyard BBQ—I hope you’re able to enjoy the sunshine and spend time with the people you love!

I’ve had the opportunity to meet some truly inspiring advocates and families who are raising awareness and pushing for better care for those living with sickle cell disease.

Special shout out to Sickle Cell Disease Association of Atlantic Canada (SCDAAC)!! Thank you for all you do.
