Hello Davenport friends and neighbours:

I am always trying to improve these bi-weekly updates to be relevant to you and to make it as easy as possible to find the updates you would like to read. 

The update has 4 key sections:

My (brief) Letter to Davenport that will highlight what is on my mind and top issues I want to bring to your attention.

The MP Report outlines how I have been representing you at Davenport related events or in Ottawa and it also highlights key meetings, newcomers to the community and key local happenings. 

Federal funding.  We want to do our part to keep inflation low, so we are trying to target our federal spending as well as limit it.  So if there is funding available for non-profits, small businesses or individuals, I make sure to highlight it in this section. 

The final section highlights all the key announcements (we call this section Important News and Federal Announcements) made since the last bi-weekly update that the federal government has made and that is relevant to Davenport. The external news is filled with affordability, housing and climate pricing stories – but the work we are doing on AI, around the world (global affairs & international development), arts and culture, national defence,  among many other areas continue to be top priorities  for our government.  Below you have a taste of some of the top announcements — for the full list click here. I encourage you to scan all the links – there is so much going on!  

I hope you enjoy!

Over the weekend, I attended the first annual Sist Over the weekend, I attended the first annual Sistering Solidarity Walk. Alongside the amazing team and volunteers at Sistering, we walked together for the support, #solidarity, and #resilience of the #women and gender-diverse people who rely on the support provided by shelters and social community services. Thank you, Sistering, for everything you do and all the love you share in #DavenportTO.

Thousands of investors, workers, and innovators ca Thousands of investors, workers, and innovators came to Toronto for #PDAC2026 last week, the world’s largest conference. 

I asked the Minister of Energy & Natural Resources about our critical minerals strategy. Our government is investing in 22 projects, securing $18B in commitments with 12 countries, and delivering the fastest permitting process in the G20. Canada is ready to lead.

Coldest Night of the Year at Oasis Dufferin is an Coldest Night of the Year at Oasis Dufferin is an event I cannot miss. It is inspiring and instills great hope in us when the #community comes together for one another, especially in times when the world seems upended and unstable. Local #kindness makes a positive difference.

I want to thank Amy, the organizer, and her mom for putting together such a wonderful event. Additionally, thank you to Oasis for being a champion for unhoused people. It was a pleasure to deliver remarks to local #DavenportTO constituents.
