After 12 years, I’ve left Ottawa’s City Council. I knew four years ago that this would be my last term as a councillor. The run for mayor was a detour and I have no regrets. I’m fortunate to be able to say that 12 years after I was elected, I love my ward and city more than I did before. There are projects for which I’ve advocated and supported, and choices I’ve made that let me walk around today with my head held high, loving Hintonburg more than ever. A couple of years ago, I bought a drone and used it to insert footage into my weekly video newsletter. After the election, I spend some time gathering those into the video you can watch above. It’s got everything Jeff loves. Intensification projects, bike lanes, LRT, a scooter, affordable housing and more. Enjoy.
