💙🤝 It was good to be back at our Wednesday night addiction support meeting after being away for a while because of other commitments. No matter where life takes me, my commitment to supporting, encouraging, and caring for those affected by addiction remains unchanged. ❤️

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to Fariq, Yusuf, and Bridgette for the warm welcome, and to everyone who attended. I would also like to sincerely thank Blessed Hope Church for their continued support of this important work. Your partnership continues to bring hope, healing, and encouragement to those on the journey of recovery. ⛪💙

✨ A special thank you to Pastor Dominique Adonis for popping in and showing such genuine care and interest in the group. Your encouragement, support, and heart for the community are truly appreciated. 🙏

🫶 Let us continue to stand together, support one another, and keep praying for healing, restoration, freedom from addiction, and stronger, safer communities. Together, we can make a lasting difference. 🙏💙

💙 Today I had the privilege of joining our Ward 45 Branch Chairperson, Astrid Abrahams, as we walked through Hillview and Village Heights, engaging with the incredible young people in our community.

🌱 Every conversation reminded me that our youth are filled with purpose, potential, and dreams waiting to be nurtured. When we take the time to listen, encourage, and invest in them, we are investing in the future of Ward 45.

🍽️ Afterwards, Astrid, an incredible woman with a genuine heart and deep love for our community, shared lunch with some of our youngsters. It was a beautiful reminder that kindness, compassion, and service can make a real difference in someone's day.

🙌 Days like these remind me that strong communities are built through genuine connection, care, and showing up for one another.

🏡 Building a stronger community starts with being present.

Today I took time away from work to follow up with a few Ward 45 residents we identified during our door-to-door campaign as not yet being registered to vote. 🗳️

Day 1 and 2 of our Voter registration weekend.

20 and 21 June 2026.

A huge thanks to the community of Ward 45 that came out over the weekend to come and register or/and re - register themselves.

Remember that you are appreciated.

And thank you to everyone that worked over this weekend, you are AMAZING 😁🧢👌💯
