As April unfolds, I hope this message finds each of you in good spirits and excellent health. It's a pleasure reconnecting with our vibrant community through another newsletter edition. Spring is in the air, and we’re all eager for warmer days!
I encourage you to pay close attention to council housing updates in the coming weeks. Your engagement and input are invaluable as we strive to address housing challenges and ensure every resident can access safe and affordable housing. Let's continue to work together to foster a city that thrives on collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation. Wishing you all a month filled with positivity, growth, and shared moments of joy!

I hope you're staying cozy as we wait for the cold to loosen its grip. Don't forget to set your clocks forward for daylight savings on Sunday, March 10th! Losing that hour of sleep can effect people differently, so please take extra care if you're travelling.
Today is March 8th, marking International Women's Day (IWD). The campaign theme for IWD 2024 is "Inspire Inclusion." We pave the way for a better world when we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion. When women are inspired to be included, they experience a profound sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Take a moment to reflect on what you can do to make every woman's experience one of feeling seen, heard, and valued in your life.
With appreciation,
Councillor Courtney Walcott
As February unfolds, we're greeted with the vibrant energy of Black History Month. This annual celebration is a time to honour Black individuals' rich and diverse contributions throughout history and within our community. It's more than just a month of recognition; it's an opportunity for learning, reflection, and celebration of the resilience, creativity, and achievements of Black Canadians. As we commemorate this significant occasion, remember that education is at the heart of the festivities. We can't truly celebrate without first understanding and appreciating the stories, struggles, and triumphs that have shaped our collective history. So, let's embrace this month as a chance to deepen our understanding, foster inclusivity, and honour the diverse voices that enrich our city.
With appreciation,
Councillor Courtney Walcott
