It was great to attend the Halton Business Exchange & Trade Show last night and meet some young entrepreneurs supported by Halton Region’s Summer Company Program. Hats off to photographer Kaylan Patel who took my headshot (yeah that’s it in the little camera over our shoulder)

August 1 marks 192 years of Emancipation. Burlington was the first city in the world to acclaim August as Emancipation Month, with thanks to Lisa and Dennis Scott founders of the Halton Black History Awareness Society for bringing learning, art, culture, music and remembrance to our city.

It was great to stop by Burlington’s Applemead Co-Operative Housing 40th Anniversary celebration in June, meet some of the original tenants and get my picture drawn in caricature! This is true community - people who come together, support each other and celebrate.

If you’ve swum in a pool in a hotel or a condo, it was likely built right here in Burlington by Service Plus Aquatics. I had an opportunity earlier this month to meet with the owner and staff, tour their newly opened facility and hear plans to expand custom built pools across Ontario and Canada.

I got to drop by Halton Bandology this week and see our young players in action.
They were learning a new piece written by Canadian composer Lindsay Stetner from Saskatchewan!
Welcome & thank you for the gift of music, those who teach music and the youth learning music!

I’m always grateful for the generosity of our residents - and summer time presents special challenges for children and families who rely on school food programs. Can you help provide food and snacks?
