There's some good news out of OC Transpo this morning as they expect to have full O-Train Line 1 service restored "later today". I hope everyone has a much smoother commute tomorrow.

I expect most of what residents will need to know will be covered by the media over the course of today, so this will likely be my last update. Have a great day, Kitchissippi.

With each new term of Council, the rules for how City Hall operates gets tweaked.

On Wednesday, that report was tabled at Council, and we’ll debate it at our meeting next Wednesday.
