They've got a turnout in the hundreds to the Harbour Harvest ice fishing derby at the Nepean Sailing Club this morning. I really enjoyed meeting organizer Dan Dubeau and @tkavanaghbayward.bsky.social to learn more and enjoy the day! harbourharvest.ca

One more rink video today - it's disco night at my home rink, Fisher Park. Thanks, Scott Bradley and the Fisher ODR team for making this awesomeness happen!

Ma troisième et dernière patinoire du jour était celle de Convent Glen - Orleans Wood, où j'ai eu la chance d'assister à l'inauguration des nouvelles bandes par la conseillère Laura Dudas ! J'ai ensuite eu de très bonnes conversations et partagé un chocolat chaud avec les résidents.

My third and final rink stop today was in Convent Glen - Orleans Wood where I just was able to catch Cllr. Laura Dudas cutting the ribbon on their new boards! Some great conversation and hot chocolate with residents.

Ma deuxième patinoire aujourd'hui était Larkin Park, où le West Barrhaven CA organisait son carnaval. C'était super de voir les conseillers David Hill et Wilson Lo parmi les festivités ! Il y avait du chili (celui de Tyler Watt était mon préféré).

My second rink stop today was at Larkin Park where the West Barrhaven CA was hosting its carnival. Great to see Cllrs. David Hill and Wilson Lo in the thick of the festivities! There was chilli (Tyler Watt's got my vote for best)

Une journée formidable pour visiter quelques-unes des patinoires extérieures animées de la ville ! J’ai commencé par Windsor Park où @shawnmenard.bsky.social organisait la Capital Cup. Beaucoup de visages familiers à ce tournoi populaire.

An amazing day to visit some of the city's busy outdoor rinks! I started in Windsor Park where @shawnmenard.bsky.social was hosting the Capital Cup. Lots of familiar faces at the popular tournament.

Quelle joie de célébrer aujourd'hui le Nouvel An chinois et la Saint-Valentin au 1041 ! Des locataires comme Joan font partie de mes personnes préférées. Quel plaisir de voir le personnel de @catmckenney.bsky.social, HCA, LCO et OWCS soutenir les résidents !

Absolute joy today to celebrate the Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day combined at 1041. Tenants like Joan are some of my favourite people. Great to see @catmckenney.bsky.social, HCA, OCH and OWCS staff out supporting residents!

Yet another planning file to be aware of: the Granite club development is proposed to be re-configured as three shorter towers rather than two 40-storey towers.

Two new posts from me this morning. The first is notice of a development application and open house for the block containing the Carleton where the developer is proposing a 38-storey tower: kitchissippiward.ca/2026/02/13/3...

A quiet public information session this evening to look at the Hilda and Manchester re-builds. It's a straightforward job on some small streets, but Hilda's unique width and proximity of homes to the right-of-way will make it a little challenging. Thanks to everyone who came out.

Transit compensation motions passed Council today. We still need your voices to ensure what's offered in May is fair...

Merci à la ZAC Westboro Village de nous avoir de nouveau invités, Sam Laprade, Melanie Brulée et moi, à juger le concours de ragoûts au profit de la banque alimentaire de la région de Westboro. Toujours un plaisir de voir Jackie Holzman à tant d'événements communautaires.

Thanks to the Westboro Village BIA for again inviting Sam Laprade, Melanie Brulée and I to judge the Stew Showdown for the Westboro Region Food Bank. Clocktower took the top prize with their take on an Irish stew - delicious! Always happy to see Jackie Holzman at so many of our community events.

True to my colleagues' assurances, I am greatly enjoying these deputy mayor flag-raising duties! Today was Grenada's event with His Excellency Sylvester Quarless. The country celebrates 52 years of independence tomorrow.

If it moves forward at all, I cannot support a 27-storey Mastercraft Starwood proposal for the 403 Richmond (Tubman) site. It is entirely counter to our vision for the accommodation of mid-rise growth on traditional mainstreets.
