The City’s Election-Related Resources Policy (ERRP) and its Procedure prohibits Members of Council who are seeking re-election in a municipal election from using their office budgets and staff for newsletters and general communications from August 25, 2022, up to and including October 24, 2022. 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. Par ailleurs, mon bureau demeure ouvert pour traiter des affaires courantes du quartier.
