As a sitting Member of Council, I must adhere to the City’s ERRP, meaning that this website will not be updated during the blackout period. My office remains open to deal with day-to-day constituency matters.

En tant que membre en exercice du Conseil, je dois me conformer aux dispositions de la PRLE, ce qui signifie que ce site Web ne sera pas mis à jour durant la période d’interdiction.
