I was absolutely thrilled to recently meet, hug, and celebrate Raquel McIntosh at Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) in Ward 7, at a special celebration in her honour after she was named the 2026 MusiCounts Teacher of the Year at this spring's JUNO Awards in Hamilton!

Raquel, an inspiring educator from Hamilton's Adelaide Hoodless Elementary School, has transformed her school's music program through student-led choirs, performances, and opportunities that empower every student both on and off the stage. As the 21st recipient of this prestigious national award, she has received a $10,000 cash prize, a major contribution to her school's music program, a JUNO Award statuette, and grants for additional schools in her honour. What a well-deserved recognition for this extraordinary teacher! 🎶❤️👏

This week, Ontario lost Toronto Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto and Ontario Provincial Police Constable Tarun Bali — two police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.

May our thoughts and prayers honour their lives, their courage, and their unwavering commitment to protecting others. Behind every badge is a person—a son or daughter, a friend, a partner, a parent—who willingly accepts risks most of us never have to face.

Our hearts are with their families, loved ones, colleagues, and all those grieving this profound, unfortunate loss.

May we never take for granted the men and women who put themselves in harm’s way each day to keep our communities safe. Their dedication, bravery, and selflessness deserve our deepest respect and gratitude.

Rest in peace, dear Officers. Your service will not be forgotten, and your sacrifice forever remembered.

I care deeply about the condition and state of Ward 7 parks and work hard to ensure they're attractive and user friendly. So when I recently stopped by to see the progress of this one firsthand, I was thrilled!! The complete transformation of the T.B. McQuesten Park basketball and tennis courts is in its final stages. This incredible community asset is an enhancement to what was already a true neighbourhood gem—offering a vibrant, modern space for recreation, connection, and active living. And best of all, it's arriving just in time for summer!

Thank you to all the Lime Ridge Mall shoppers and Ward 7 residents that came to see me at my last Pauls in the Mall of the season. I enjoyed the familiar faces and was pleased to see new ones! Great conversation with each person made the afternoon very rewarding.

A very special thank you to for their warm hospitality and assistance with this series!! Sheri, you've been great, as have all mall staff who we've had the pleasure to receive assistance from. 🙏

What a thrill I had this morning welcoming these students from Ward 7’s Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Elementary School. We toured City Hall’s Council Chambers, Mayor Horwath’s wing, and my office. It didn’t take long for my little office to feel like a small Volkswagen with this many young people inside it! I loved each moment! What a joyous start to a busy day ahead.

May we see many of these young people coming back to City Hall in years to come as active citizens and maybe even to serve in local government!

We dodged rain and thundershowers and had a very informative Pauls in the Park Community Drop-In last night. Thanks to everyone who took a chance on clear skies to come and listen to Hamilton Police Service update us on police and safety in our ward.

The City of Hamilton proudly marked the beginning of Filipino Heritage Month with a special flag-raising ceremony at the Hamilton City Hall Forecourt yesterday, and I was delighted, as always, to be there.

Held in partnership with the local Filipino community, the event was a meaningful celebration of the rich culture, vibrant traditions, and lasting contributions of Filipino Canadians. It brought together community members, leaders, and residents to honor the stories, achievements, and enduring spirit that continue to enrich Hamilton’s diverse and welcoming community.
