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

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.

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.

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.
