Hey, neighbour. Today is obviously a really difficult day for a lot of Ward 4. Our hearts go out to the family of Parker today. While there's relief that he's been found, this is obviously not the news that any of us were hoping for. I want to thank every single neighbour who went out searching.

Hey, neighbour! On Sunday, I had the distinct privilege to welcome new Canadian citizens at the Triwood Stampede Breakfast and Citizenship Ceremony.

Hey, neighbour! I was thrilled to attend today's announcement by the Government of Canada that they are investing $40 million into Contemporary Calgary. This along with the $40 million from the Government of Alberta is a game changer for contemporary art in Calgary, and for our nation.

Hey, neighbour! I can't think of a better way to kick off the Calgary Stampede than flipping a few pancakes with my council colleagues John Pantazopoulos and Harrison Clark at First Flip, even though I did get hit with a pancake.

Hey, neighbour! Thanks to a Ward 4 neighbour, myself and my team along with the Parks team at the City were able to replace the flags at Confederation Park just in time for Canada Day. I can't think of a better place to start my Canada Day celebrations than at the most patriotic park in Calgary.

Happy 4-0, big dawg. @jeromyyyc.bsky.social

Hey, neighbour! Stampede season is almost upon us, but I'm so glad I got to join the Edgemont Community Association over the past weekend to get in the spirit with their Stampede breakfast.
