Congratulations to Nesda Technologies on 30 years of business! I was happy to join Michael & his team to help celebrate this special milestone. Michael launched Nesda in 1995 in Belleville, & the company now employs 15 staff, providing IT solutions in Quinte and beyond.

The 201st Quinte Exhibition is on this weekend! I was there this afternoon to help my good friend Betty Beer kick off the weekend. Be sure to stop by, there's lots going on throughout the weekend! The plans for the new fairgrounds are on display and will be underway this fall.

Open-air drug use in our public spaces is ridiculous. Our cities are in decay because no one will step up & put an end to this madness. Public spaces should be free of criminal activity, be safe & welcoming. We need urgent help @JustinTrudeau & @fordnation. Hazel McCallion was right. Fed’s have the money, Province makes the rules & cities get all the problems.

Homelessness is hard. For everyone. Despite our best efforts, there remains a gap in funding needed to create a safe & supportive hub. I have partnered with @unitedwayhpe and am issuing a challenge: let’s come together to bridge this gap. Donate today at BuildTheBridge.ca.

Today, I stopped by Zwick's Park to check out what's new for season six of Pop-ups on the Bay! I chatted with some of the staff, who work hard to make this project happen each year and with our EcDev Committee who stopped by for lunch. Be sure to stop by the pop-ups this summer!

From the archives of CAO Rod Bovay - we dug this out just in time for another #ThrowbackThursday! This photo was taken during the construction of the Veterans Memorial Bridge in 2010. The bridge opened later that year and has served as a major connector for our city ever since.

Come cheer me on as I compete in the Mayoral Disc Golf Challenge during Activities in the Park next Tuesday from 4 - 6 pm at West Riverside Park! Thanks to Kyle & Charles from the Quinte Disc Golf Association who gave me some tips yesterday. The other mayors don't stand a chance.
