Newsletter - February 19, 2025

As Ontarians celebrated Family Day this week, I hope everyone had the chance to gather with their loved ones and enjoy the holiday together. Our Oakville community has always felt like family, and over the past six years I have seen this family grow stronger in size and spirit. I am so grateful to have raised my family here, and to call Oakville home.

Oakville's diversity and culture is a cornerstone of our community, and I cherish gathering with you all to celebrate our cultural and community milestones. 

It was wonderful to celebrate Lunar New Year with so many members of Oakville's Chinese community, both at the Oakville Jiu-Jiu Senior Association's event, and with many more at Oakville's Town Hall celebration for Lunar New Year.

February is Black History Month, and I joined Black Mentorship Inc. to celebrate and honour the remarkable contributions of Oakville and Halton's Black communities throughout our history. 

Now, more than ever, it is important that we work together to support our community and country. Support local businesses, buy Canadian products when possible, come together and celebrate our community, and fly the Canadian flag with pride. Together, we make Oakville beautiful, exceptional, and welcoming -- and we will keep finding ways to make it even better.

Celebrating National Flag of Canada Day
Whenever I see our flag, I am reminded of the reason I ran for office: to build a better, stronger Canada. Now, more than ever, we must unite and choose Canada. From far and wide, we stand on guard for our dear country.

Honoured Black History Month with Black Mentorship Inc. at their annual Black History Month Gala!

Knights of Columbus Free Throw Contest
Great to participate in the Knights of Columbus' annual Free Throw Contest! It was wonderful to meet so many talented youth athletes here in Oakville, as well as some members of Canada's Special Olympics program!
