@DawsonMyrna @familycourtruth This is an important one - #IPV is very much real, and needs to be taken seriously. Organizations are quick to have a blind eye, to avoid “getting involved in personal, domestic matters”, when in reality, the need for someone to step in is more than ever

Tonight’s committee meeting reviewed the possibility of making the outdoor patio program a permanent concept in #BurlON, utilizing private & public land, & expanding it to more businesses beyond restaurants & beyond the DT core. Thoughts on “pandemic patios” becoming permanent?

@_NickMorrison This is great news!

@CarpenterHosp threw a great party last month and brought paradise to #BurlON. The best part? The event raised over $160,000 to support the programs and services they offer - all free of charge. local-news.ca/2023/03/10/ove…

According to the Global Gender Gap Index, it will take 132 yrs to attain global gender equity-almost 250 yrs after Int’l Women’s Day began. Read my latest piece on last week’s Women Leaders and Allies event that was hosted by @burlingtoncofc: local-news.ca/2023/03/08/wom… #BurlON

It was so special being surrounded by powerhouse women and allies, and incredibly inspiring to learn about the importance of having a seat at the table AND ensuring that voices are heard. It’s more than just diversity and inclusion - it’s a sense of belonging, too. #IWD2023

It was a great morning attending @Jo_Brant Foundation’s 5th Annual Women in Leadership & Philanthropy Panel Discussion at The Pearle Hotel & Spa. Today’s event was in support of Women’s Mental Health and Addictions care at JBH. #IWD2023 #EmbraceEquity #BurlON #mentalhealth

We’ve gone from discussions of a property tax increase of 7.08%, worrying #BurlON residents, to now, the newly approved property tax increase of… 7.52% Yikes At a time when inflation dictates the food that gets put on the table, or the reality of wages not keeping up #Halton

The big question for #Toronto - who’s next?

@familycourtruth Oh man. You and me both!

Nearly three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary increases, & fuel costs, combined w/an aging infrastructure & an investment in community services that hasn’t kept pace, all lead to one conclusion: the city is playing catch up. local-news.ca/2023/01/23/a-t… #BurlON #Halton
