Thanks to everyone who came out to Bridgeworks last night for our second Ward 2 Neighbourhood Town Hall. Good questions, great energy, and a fantastic venue. See you all again on June 28 at 7:00pm at the Church of the Ascension in Corktown. #HamOnt

If you haven't heard, 4 new peregrine falcon chicks hatched this spring in downtown #HamOnt. Read all about it in this month's feature article in the Ward 2 Newsletter from @Ham_FalconWatch - ward2hamilton.substack.com/p/04-may-2023-….

I check everyday.. the swan’s eggs are hatching today! (As of 3:00pm today) At foot of Waterfront in #Hamont I think there are 3 hatched now.. 3 to go! So cool to watch! This made my day … I don’t want to leave.

If you love Take Back the Night please consider joining the planning committee. I know TBTN 2023 will be the best #HamOnt TBTN yet! #WeBelieveSurvivors twitter.com/sachahamont/st…

The fourth edition of the Ward 2 Newsletter is out and features updates about the work I've been doing at City Hall to make progress on resident priorities, projects in the core, and a list of notable upcoming events. You can read it at ward2hamilton.substack.com/04-may-2023. #HamOnt

Something I'd really like to see @ward1wilson @Ward2Hamilton @NrinderWard3 push for is reduction of driveways, and modal filters onto Main St. It's possible to remove hundreds, if not thousands of conflict points from Main St by doing this. twitter.com/antonlodder/st…

Great engagement last night at Bernie Morelli Rec Centre for the Main St. 2-Way Conversion Study Community Mtg. Thank you to Mike Fields, Acting Dir of Transportation & Dipankar Sharma, Mngr of Infrastructure Renewal for a thorough presentation & answering questions. #HamOnt 1/

Communication panels in playgrounds can support kids in their efforts to communicate with others. The panels host symbols, pictures and words that children can point to when playing with friends. Very happy to receive support for my motion at today's Public Works Committee.

Hot water is back on at 20 Duke and renos stopped around noon. Order to comply for no permits. ACORN member Jenn also put up some more signs! Stop #renoviction at 20 Duke! #HamOnt #tenantunion

“The city has a renoviction crisis, Evan Pettit told councillors on April 20. He has lived in a multiplex … since 2019 and pays $743.12 in rent. But in 2021, he said, a new owner bought the building and issued N13s…” #HamOnt #Renoviction @TheAgenda tvo.org/article/an-urg…

Julia from @Everyone_Rides_ will be leading a ride from our Adaptive Bike Hub at Gage Park to the festivities at City Hall on Thursday morning for Bike Day. Join us along with @CameronKroetsch & @NrinderWard3 😎🚴‍♀️🎉 twitter.com/CycleHamilton/…

We have to do more to fight against the rise of white nationalism in #HamOnt. Nothing in this article is surprising. "They are Hamilton’s homegrown neo-Nazis.And they believe their time is now. Southwest Ontario is becoming the fastest growing nationalist community in Canada.” twitter.com/GrantRants/sta…

Last reminder about tomorrow's Ward 2 Town Hall at Bridgeworks at 7:00pm. Here's the YouTube link - youtube.com/watch?v=prrrmw… - for those who want to tune into the livestream. You will be able to ask questions and we'll have someone checking in on them throughout the event. #HamOnt

@SJ_Hurley @NrinderWard3 @HamiltonPolice It’s a good question, but I’m truly not sure what the standard practice is. If you’d like to report something that you’ve witnessed, there’s a complaint process.

@TomyB42560088 @KeddyTrail Thanks. There have been some communications sent to me by staff about this but I’m not sure what the latest update is. Tagging @Ward2Hamilton so we can follow up about this.

@RachelRCollins @cityofhamilton @Ward2Hamilton

@SJ_Hurley @NrinderWard3 @HamiltonPolice I think you’re right, generally, though I’m relatively sure they will enforce it if they come across it in the course of their duties.

Hamilton’s first 2SLGBTQIA+ softball league kicked off its third season today at Eastwood Park, which organizers say is their biggest and best year yet. @SimoneGavros reports. chch.com/hamilton-2slgb…

The landlord lobby using the murder of two tenants by their landlord for bringing up safety concerns in their apartment to make it easier to evict people is one of the most sadistic things I have ever seen and speaks to the absolute heartlessness of the industry. twitter.com/VarunSriskanda…

Many folks in the community don't feel included or haven't felt welcome to play sports. The vibe is super friendly, inclusive, and safe - the kinds of spaces we need more of in our city. I can't wait to watch it continue to grow and I'll be here to support it in any way I can.

Really heartwarming to be at the opening ceremony for this year's season of the Steel City Inclusive Softball Association at Eastwood Park. It's the largest regular gathering of queer and trans folks in Hamilton. Huge thanks, and love, to everyone who organizes and plays. #HamOnt

THIS is what we need more of in #HamOnt This is what was called for on Friday. congratulations @GoodShepherdHam on opening the space. “"We need adequate stock, affordability and for those who face the most barriers, different models of supportive housing," cbc.ca/news/canada/ha…

June is Bike Month and we’re getting things started with Bike Day on Thursday, June 1st. Ride over to City Hall from 7:30am-9:30am for a community celebration with free coffee and donuts. Don’t forget to stop by our tent for a $5 Bike Share credit! #HamOnt #BikeMonth

I agree with Ryan. Collectively, over 2 generations, we have slowly and systematically deprived more and more people of their basic housing and health care needs. We must find a way, as he rightly says, to reinclude those we have excluded. #HamOnt thespec.com/opinion/contri…

Heads up that a part of the east sidewalk and adjacent road lane on James Street South at Duke Street will be closed for about 2 weeks starting on Sunday night. The developer will be replacing the sidewalk and installing water, storm, and sewer utilities. #HamOnt
