It was great to visit Great White Shark Car Wash again and experience the same excellent service. The long lineup was wonderful to see, a true reflection of how our community continues to support local businesses.

Thank you, Airdrie, for showing up for local. If you haven’t already, be sure to check it out and treat your car to a great wash.

Welcome to Airdrie, Best Buy! 👋🏾

It was a pleasure visiting the Best Buy team and welcoming them to Airdrie over the weekend. Our city is strengthened by businesses that serve our residents, create local opportunities, and contribute to the sense of community that makes Airdrie home.

Thank you to the team for the warm welcome and the work you do every day to support our community. We’re glad to have you here.

A really reflective moment today at Dave’s Gift Foundation’s 2nd Annual Chili Cook-Off.

The event was about creating awareness for the support the foundation provides for private mental health therapy for individuals and families, in honour and memory of Dave, who tragically lost his life to an accidental overdose after facing ongoing barriers to accessing mental health care. Days like today remind us why access, compassion, and timely support matter so much.

A huge thank you to Switchback Creative for selecting Dave’s Gift Foundation as a recipient of their $10,000 Trailblazer Fund. Their investment in marketing, design, and branding will go a long way in helping more people find and access the support this foundation provides.

Big thanks as well to the generous donors who helped make the Chili Cook-Off a success: Condillo Foods, Cobbs Bread, Airdrie Youth, and Hungry Canadian.

Grateful for community, generosity, and the reminder that showing up for one another truly matters.

Wow 😮!! 100 Days in Office as an elected City Councillor serving Airdrie🥳🎉!!!

As this milestone approached, I took time to reflect.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve, thankful for the support I have received, proud of the work completed so far and still in progress, and motivated for the work ahead.

As part of my commitment to transparency, I chose to pause and mark these first 100 days in office with a conversation that reflects both progress and responsibility.

This interview was shaped to centre the concerns, clarity, and accountability residents deserve at this milestone.

Thank you to Preeti Gupta, Fleeha Ahmad, Donna Jewell-Glassco, and Jun Martin for making time out of their busy schedules to share thoughtful feedback on this video.

Hello Airdrie! How has your week been?

Always a great time at the Rocky View Foundation (RVF) Board Meeting as we continue the important work of moving the needle on affordable housing across Rocky View County, including Airdrie.

And of course, you can always count on Councillor Chris Glass to bring the fun and keep the room light 😄

Progress, partnership, and people all in a day’s work. ❤️
