I have some very good news to share about the 417. Unless the weather interferes, all lanes of the 417 near Pinecrest will reopen in just over a week, on Monday, June 22. That’s more than five weeks ahead of the original timetable. I know how frustrating it’s been for drivers in the west end due to lane closures and construction. I asked for the project to be significantly accelerated so we could reduce disruption and get relief for commuters as quickly as possible. I’m pleased to see staff have followed through on my request. To accelerate the work, there will be some overnight lane reductions next weekend. These are the final steps necessary to get the work done. If the weather is a factor, the work may be delayed to the following weekend but so far it’s looking good. Thanks for your patience. We’re almost there!

@ottawaisms Here’s the 2025 annual report ottawaatnight.ca/2025-nightlife…

Our region is meeting the moment. Opening @ottawabot’s inaugural Ottawa Defence Forum

Ottawa has been buzzing with activity these past few days, and it’s been great to see so many residents out enjoying the warmer weather. I had the opportunity to support volunteers helping local shelters, celebrate the opening of the Ottawa Chinatown Night Market, recognize Asian Heritage Month with Ottawa’s Vietnamese community, cheer on young athletes at the Nepean Junior Fest, and connect with residents and local producers at the Lansdowne Farmers’ Market. Ottawa était particulièrement animé ces derniers jours, et ce fut un plaisir de voir autant de résidents profiter enfin du beau temps. J’ai eu l’occasion de remercier des bénévoles qui soutiennent les refuges locaux, de participer à l’ouverture du Marché de nuit du quartier chinois d’Ottawa, de souligner le Mois du patrimoine asiatique avec la communauté vietnamienne d’Ottawa, d’encourager les jeunes athlètes au Nepean Junior Fest et d’échanger avec des résidents et des producteurs locaux au Marché fermier de Lansdowne.

In Ottawa, we are saying YES to housing. While many other cities have seen steep declines in housing starts, our housing starts were up 38% in 2025. A quarter of all rentals built in Ontario last year were built right here in Ottawa. And since 2023, we’ve put industry in a position to build roughly 70,000 new homes in Ottawa. À Ottawa, nous disons OUI au logement. Alors que plusieurs autres villes ont connu une forte baisse des mises en chantier, celles-ci ont augmenté de 38 % à Ottawa en 2025. Le quart de tous les logements locatifs construits en Ontario l’an dernier l’ont été ici même, à Ottawa. Et depuis 2023, nous avons créé les conditions nécessaires pour permettre la construction d’environ 70 000 nouveaux logements à Ottawa.

We must continue to work hard to build more homes and keep the dream of home ownership alive in Ottawa. Today's announcement from the federal and provincial governments commits $8.8 billion to infrastructure projects in Ontario. I'll be working hard to ensure Ottawa gets our fair share of this funding, to pay for the critical infrastructure we need, and to unlock thousands of new homes for construction. Thanks to our federal and provincial partners for making this historic announcement in Ottawa, where we are saying YES to housing.

June is Pride Month, a time to recognize and celebrate Ottawa’s 2SLGBTQQIA+ community and the many people who help shape a city where everyone can live openly and authentically. Pride is also a reminder that belonging is something we have to protect and strengthen every day. Across Ottawa, residents, organizations, and community leaders continue to do important work to make our city safer, more welcoming, and more inclusive for everyone. This month, I encourage you to take part in Pride events, support local organizations, and stand with the people who continue to move this work forward in our city. Le mois de juin est le Mois de la fierté, une occasion de rendre hommage à la communauté 2SLGBTQQIA+ d’Ottawa et aux nombreuses personnes qui contribuent à façonner une ville où chacun peut vivre ouvertement et en toute authenticité. La fierté nous rappelle également que le sentiment d’appartenance est quelque chose que nous devons protéger et renforcer chaque jour. Partout à Ottawa, les résidents, les organisations et les leaders communautaires continuent de faire un travail important pour rendre notre ville plus sécuritaire, plus accueillante et plus inclusive pour tous. Ce mois-ci, je vous encourage à participer aux événements de la Fierté, à soutenir les organisations locales et à vous joindre aux personnes qui continuent de faire avancer ce travail dans notre ville.

Cela s'appelle une entrée en campagne réussie ! Et maintenant, rendez-vous demain pour notre premier meeting : parti.re/30mai.

Our National Capital Region brings together federal institutions, defence leadership, diplomatic communities, and a strong defence innovation ecosystem.

Four years ago, Ottawa was struggling and city council was toxic and dysfunctional. During this term of council, we got everyone working together again and made real progress. But the work isn't finished. Let's keep building a stronger Ottawa, together. marksutcliffe2026.ca/stronger-ottawa

Over the last four years, we’ve worked very hard to protect affordability with the lowest tax increases of any major city in Canada. At the same time, we've made historic investments into priorities that matter most to Ottawa residents, including safer neighbourhoods, more reliable transit, and better roads and sidewalks. In my interview with CTV’s Patricia Boal, I talk about how we're building a stronger Ottawa, together. Au cours des quatre dernières années, nous avons travaillé fort pour protéger l'abordabilité en imposant les hausses d'impôts les plus faibles parmi toutes les grandes villes du Canada. Parallèlement, nous avons réalisé des investissements historiques dans les priorités qui comptent le plus pour les résidents d'Ottawa, notamment des quartiers plus sécuritaires, des transports en commun plus fiables, ainsi que des routes et des trottoirs de meilleure qualité. Dans mon entretien avec Patricia Boal de CTV, j'explique comment nous construisons ensemble une ville d'Ottawa plus forte. ctvnews.ca/ottawa/video/2…

Alex is not your average convoy supporter. Endorsing calls for a "revolution" as only "a start" on the eve of the convoy is barely scratching the surface of the unhinged comments he makes online. #ottpoli #ottnews cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

I’m incredibly grateful for the support of our community. Together, we raised more than $117,000 for the End Youth Homelessness in Ottawa by 2030 Fund. Thank you to everyone who contributed, cheered on, and joined me across the finish line this morning, including our youth. It was an incredible moment. Je suis extrêmement reconnaissant du soutien de notre communauté. Ensemble, nous avons récolté plus de 117 000 dollars pour le fonds « Mettre fin à l’itinérance chez les jeunes à Ottawa d’ici 2030 ». Merci à tous ceux qui ont contribué, m’ont encouragé et m’ont accompagné jusqu’à la ligne d’arrivée ce matin, y compris nos jeunes. Ce fut un moment incroyable.

"Just responding to a need"!? The need was for them to leave. Not make them more comfortable. Why didn’t he respond to the needs of residents whose city was occupied by people trying to overthrow the government? No one buys this spin. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

@alexjbkrzycki A lot of people I’ve been talking to asking the same thing

Just got this text from the Alex Lawson campaign, and seemingly so did a lot of liberals in Ottawa Centre. As a known convoy supporter, that’s quite a bold strategy…

All Canadians should be proud @coreyhoganyyc is willing and able to say the thing about Danielle Smith’s actions.

Je suis candidat à l’élection présidentielle. Parce que je refuse d’être de ceux qui ne proposent que de gérer le déclin. Parce que je souhaite proposer un projet d’avenir et d’espoir aux Français. Parce que je veux que chaque génération vive mieux que celle de ses parents et de ses grands-parents. ➜ attalpresident.fr

Ottawa-Gatineau has the talent, technology and global partnerships unlike anywhere in the country. The region is shaping the future of defence and security in Canada.

@pollingcanada Sleep well babes

@pollingcanada Um… ok? I thought I was clear that I’m not particularly important. Now, since I have you, maybe don’t work for a convoy supporter. It’s not a good look in Ottawa. But what do I know, I’m just in charge of balloons.
