- And...treatment is underway! I am completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from this great community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! If wishes, thoughts and prayers are required for healing, then this cancer is doomed.
- My diagnosis of Ovarian cancer was devestating but great strides are being made to conquer this disease. Today I feel strong & on the road to recovery. I am grateful for my community of support & for the healthcare workers that have given me hope& courage. bit.ly/2LdHDWs
- Peaceful protests are expected in a democracy but symbols of hate and intolerance such as swastikas and Confederate flags have no place here.
- Ringing the victory bell after finishing my LAST CHEMO TREATMENT! Tks to the amazing staff & volunteers @ the Ottawa Cancer Centre & Shirley Greenberg Women’s Health Centre, you are the true heroes. Looking forward to the next few months of recovery before returning to City Hall!
- Paid #StuStrong2 a visit today. Two different cancer journeys but one shared steely determination. Spirits are high!
- I am proud to endorse @cmckenney for Mayor. I strongly believe they are the best person to move this city forward in a positive direction. On Oct. 24th, I will be casting my ballot for them. #ottcity
00:00 - I urge those protesting this weekend to remember that Ottawa is home to over 1 million people. I support the right for all people to peacefully protest, but safety has to be the top priority. Please respect our city and all of our people.
- It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that I have received the devastating diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Your thoughts and prayers mean the world to me as I journey towards recovery. Here is my statement:
- Excited to announce that I will be returning to City Council on September 8th! This has been a helluva a year and I am so thankful for the support of my family, friends, healthcare professionals and the entire community. #FightLikeaGirl #HealthyandStrong
- Thanks @JimWatsonOttawa for the apology, however you need to take steps to correct the damage you have done. This would mean allowing @cmckenney's motion to be debated and voted on at the next meeting of Council. We need to restore public trust.
- Breaking news, the Provincial government will be undertaking a full inquiry into LRT. We will finally get to the bottom of this debacle and get the answers the public have demanded and deserve. We need to restore trust. #ottnews
- Today, I announced that I will be running for Mayor of Ottawa in 2022. I am so grateful for all of the support from my family, friends, colleagues, constituents, & Ottawa residents from across this city. I can’t wait to share my vision for our amazing city in the coming months.
