Welcomed my newest project yesterday. A large (almost 9lbs!), healthy new constituent came at 8:57AM. But let's be serious, my wife did all the work. His big sister has a list of names: chunky peanut, cute onion, chippy dippy, and cupcake. All is well and we're already dreaming of sleep #yyc

It's August, which means a quieter month at City Hall. For me, it's actually louder as my wife and I are welcoming our 2nd child (a boy!) tomorrow. The Ward 8 team is managing urgent requests but replies will be slower until September as they're covering more ground and I'll be on newborn sleep 1/

In June, I visited Struggle Is Your Success, a Black-led nonprofit that takes young people aged 14 to 25 through five weeks of building a business idea, planning it, and pitching it in front of a room. As a former defence lawyer, I often met young people after something had already gone wrong 1/

I recently brought a motion to put $6 million into traffic safety. Council passed it 15 to 0. Crosswalks, speed cushions, curb extensions, safer streets. The AMA wrote a letter of support, because keeping kids safe is never a debate. Stay tuned for the full program this September. #yyc #calgary
