I've received 3 sales calls today from @Bell and asked them to put me on their do-not-call list each time. I am not a Bell customer and I won't be. Do I need to complain to @CRTCeng ?

I'll be on CBC's All in a Day with @AlanNeal at 4:10 today talking about...rat birth control! A new bait being reviewed by Health Canada may reduce rat populations by 90% without harming other species, & I'm bringing a motion to Council to ask that their review be expedited.

It was my great honour to recognize CBC's Laurence Wall - a #CollegeWard resident - for his long service as a journalist, and the voice of the 1pm beep, on the occasion of his retirement. I presented @_MarkSutcliffe's proclamation making May 31 2024 "Laurence Wall Day" in Ottawa.

I'm saddened to read that Diane Deans has left us. She was a strong, smart community leader and she'll be missed.

Ottawa is updating its zoning bylaw, that describes who can build what, where all across @ottawacity. It's a 2-year consultative process that will implement our Official Plan. It's time to pay attention, #collegeward, as the City seeks your feedback. engage.ottawa.ca/zoning
