He has been a strong supporter of the city's continued efforts to make Kitchener a viable candidate for new business and economic growth, helping to improve the quality of life of Kitchener residents through prosperity.

What's new in ward 6
Dear Ward 6 neighbours,
As winter comes to a close, I want to share a few positive updates as we head into a new season in Kitchener. Spring always brings renewed energy to our neighbourhoods, and it reminds us how much pride residents take in building a welcoming, connected community.
I am proud that Kitchener has once again been recognized as a Tree City of the World. To celebrate, the City is giving away 300 free trees to residents to help share the benefits of trees across the community. Until April 27, interested residents can apply for a free two-gallon potted tree to plant on their property. Each household is eligible for one free tree while supplies last. It is a simple but meaningful way to strengthen our urban canopy, support the environment, and help create a greener future for every ward, including Ward 6.
April has also highlighted an important community priority: water safety. Through April Pools Month, families have been able to take part in Toonie Swims at select indoor pools, with proceeds supporting Water Smart safety programs. These opportunities bring people together while helping residents prepare for a safe and active summer.
There is also plenty to look forward to in the weeks ahead. Summer camps will run from July 6 to August 28 at locations across the city, giving children and youth opportunities to stay active, learn new skills, and make lasting memories. Neighbours Day on June 20 will once again bring music, fun, and connection to communities across Kitchener, reminding us that strong neighbourhoods are built through simple moments of togetherness.
Ward 6 has always been defined by community spirit, and I see that spirit every day. Thank you for all you do to make our ward such a vibrant part of Kitchener.
