Here’s my latest update on AI Mega Centres in Hamilton.

Human & environmental health impacts of mega data centres worry my neighbours.   I have tabled a motion for a report on: planning/zoning code criteria for mega data centres, standards for governing energy, water use, & public benefits.   Have ideas to strengthen this, email ward3@hamilton.ca

Here is my latest statement on Mega Data Centres. If you need any further information or links to documents, please email ward3@hamilton.ca

Thank you to all the kiddos and parents who spoke up, the 15 residents who submitted letters, pre-recorded videos, delegated in person to Public Works Cmtee. Big community win for new playground & shade structures at Memorial Elementary for everyone in the community to use! #OurWard3

Thank you to the neighbours who live off Wilson St who connect directly about the reconstruction. I’m really looking forward to the complete street being built into this existing neighbourhood: trees, plants, benches, cross walks! 2-way conversion + upgrades to water infrastructure = big win!

Such a joy to see so many cyclists brave the cold for another Winter Bike Day! ❄️ We are already looking forward to Summer Bike Day coming your way when the warmer weather rolls in 🚲!

"A similar idea appears in an article published last month @policyalternatives.ca, which suggests a “Costco-plus-local” model could reduce grocery prices by 25 to 45 per cent, depending on where people live." www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

B.C. organization enters debate on government-run grocery amid rising food costs

Governments as grocers isn’t a new idea, but has received more attention with New York’s new mayor promising a pilot program and it appearing on the platform of a federal NDP leadership candidate.

When cities are built with women in mind, they become more liveable for everyone. A fairer planning approach that promotes a universal right to access the city, and considers every aspect of human life, from infancy to elderly; not just those in the so-called productive stage. youtu.be/uAsRoa5_jXw

An oft-repeated statistic says men apply for a job when they have 60% of the qualifications while women wait till they have 100%. Pretty sure that stat was debunked, but … Several men seem to think that being Mayor is a suitable starter job for someone with no municipal experience. It’s not.

2026 City Budget details show that the anti-renovation bylaw is working - fewer tenants facing evictions and N13s resulting in less staffing required! #antirenoviction #tenantrights

In review of Hamilton 2026 City Budget, another provincial decision impact is the new private recycling program no longer providing service to small business & non-profit/social service organizations - increasing the cost of doing business and providing essential services in Ontario!! #ONPoli 🤦🏽‍♀️

While the Premier says “Ban”, the City of Hamilton says “Expand”! Today Public Works Cmtee supported my motion to report back on how to expand Automated Speed Enforcement in Hamilton. And if the Prov doesn’t want to work with cities, we’ll send the bill for reimbursement! #OnPoli #SaferStreets

After a long hiatus from this platform, I’m making a slow return. Be patient though, I have strict social media use protocols to ensure I stay plugged into real life versus screen life!

U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminum are already impacting communities across Canada, especially in Quebec and Ontario. Today’s doubling of these tariffs to 50% will simply be devastating.

Rural communities across Canada are key to economic growth, but they are at a crossroads on the path to prosperity. Panelists this morning stress the needs and solutions for a dynamic and prosperous plan that build rural Canada sustainably. #FCM2025AC

Mayor LaToya Cantrell nails it this morning on the US & Canadian Mayor’s Panel on collaboration in the face of tariffs - it isn’t just our economies that are intertwined…we must fight for the way our cultures and people thrive together! #FCM2025AC @fcm.ca
