As a male politician, nobody at the door has ever asked me how family responsibilities might impact my work. An important message here from a Stittsville candidate. 👍 www.instagram.com/reel/DbqYB1v...

Last month we cycled to the National Gallery of #Canada via Quebec to avoid downtown #Ottawa for a nicer cycling experience. The reason for our visit was an extensive exhibit of Canadian #Impressionist paintings by Helen McNicoll, well worth the trip. Here’s the story: #ottbike

Greg McPherson left Stittsville today on his seventh “Steps to Remember” walk of 2026. He’s walking from Stittsville to Barrhaven to City Hall, and will take more than 56,000 steps to honour the more than 56,000 Canadians who have lost their lives to the opioid crisis since 2016.

The research I do relies on the bound volumes of the bylaws and minutes of the City of Ottawa, dating back over a century. I’ve spent hours in the Main Branch Ottawa Room with these books (pictured). Sadly, this resource was recently “discarded” by the library. It’s a loss for local history.

The volunteer bike rides helping seniors beat isolation

'The right to wind in their hair.' That's the motto of Cycling Without Age, a charitable volunteer group that takes seniors from care facilities on recreational bike rides motto. The goal is to promote recreation and social connection for seniors. Globe health reporter and columnist André Picard recently spent a day riding with the group and saw firsthand how it leaves residents feeling energized and re-invigorated.

Yesterday I had the chance to visit the monthly Stittsville Friendship Club luncheon. Established in 1982, the club now has more than 300 members, mostly seniors from Stittsville. They organize activities like euchre, shuffleboard, line dancing, along with trips and excursions.
