Thank you for the kind words about my friend and colleague @mayor_collier Keith loved Ajax and telling stories about the people. He was a gentleman, a confidante and everyone's 'favourite uncle.' The newspaper staff and the community have lost a cherished friend.

My statement regarding the passing of reporter Keith Gilligan.

ALT On behalf of the Ajax Council, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Keith Gilligan's family and friends, as well as with the entire Metroland Media family. Keith was a constant presence at events and anywhere news was happening in Ajax over the past many years. He could always be counted on to bring levity to a conversation and provide balanced media coverage on a variety of important local issues. As a journalist and community member, he will be deeply missed.

As we work on Whitby's 2025 Budget, it's important for residents to understand the challenges municipalities face -- we're increasingly being asked to deliver and pay for services that are the responsibility of the province. Read my latest column here:

We can’t let bloodsports expand in Ontario! 🚫 Animal Justice’s Executive Director @CamilleLabchuk tells CityNews Toronto how captive wild animals are regularly mauled & killed in cruel dog hunting pens.
The Ontario government should CANCEL plans to issue new licenses for this sickening practice!

SHOCKING: New docs from Japan reveal 21 Canadian horses DIED between June 2023 & May 2024 from being shipped overseas for slaughter—a stark contrast to Canada's official reports, which claim only 5 horse deaths over the past 11 years 🐴⚠️

BREAKING: Docs from Japan reveal that MANY Canadian horses are dying from being flown overseas for slaughter. There are far more deaths & injuries than are being reported to the Canadian govt—incl. from stress, dehydration, & miscarriages 🐴💔 ACT NOW: animaljustice.ca/horse-expor…

These fucking people need to be shut down. What they do to horses is sinister. This is not Canada. We are continually at the bottom of the G7 for animal welfare. This is a perfect example of that. #HORSESHIT

@MayorKevinAshe on cow bell, @Davidbartons on backup vocals, and @MPPBarnesAjax on tambourine was a must see!
Thank You to everyone who came out to the event, and Thank You to the hardworking volunteers.
