During the campaign, I talked about building our communities stronger. This is about taking decisions that make our city more resilient to the challenges we face now and into the future. There are a number of ways over the past six months that I’ve worked to make O-day’min stronger.

Building smarter means making best use of what we have and looking for opportunities for the whole to be greater than the sum of its parts.

We often hear about growing political polarisation and greater social isolation in our society. The reality I see in O-day'min challenges these notions. One of the greatest honours and joys of my role is having the chance to witness the incredible work volunteers are doing throughout our ward.
