Had the opportunity to once again chat with the commissioner about the importance of #transparency in the #LocalGov space. And these days especially, open access to #data is a pretty big deal. @ipcontario.bsky.social #ONmuni

Always a good chat with @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social on the latest @fcm.ca thoughts on what is directly impacting #LocalGov. In this case, reflecting on the details of Ottawa's Spring Economic Statement. #CDNmuni

Talked with @andrewknack.bsky.social ahead of #FCM2026AC and it sounds like it will be quite a conference. Sadly, my ongoing back injury is keeping me from attending, but it should be a fun event for the #LocalGov folks who makes the trip. @fcm.ca #CDNMuni
