Message from the Mayor by Mayor Josh Morgan mayor@london.ca 519-661-4920
Looking ahead to early 2026, we’ll continue to advance revitalization work in OEV, support safer and more accessible public spaces, and build on the progress made along Dundas through community partnerships. I remain inspired by the creativity, resilience and leadership that define this neighbourhood. Wishing you and your loved ones a warm, hopeful and con- nected start to the new year. Together, we’ll make 2026 another strong chapter for all of London. Mayor Josh Morgan
Happy New Year, OEV! As we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to thank your incredible community for everything you contributed through- out 2025. Whether it was supporting local businesses, taking part in neigh-
bourhood cleanups, attending community markets, or adding your voice to revitalization conversations, your spirit helped shape a stronger, brighter, more connected Old East Village. Since we last spoke, winter has shown up early and often. The cold has settled in, and I know you’ve felt it while walking down the street, visiting the markets, or making your way to local shops and cafés. City crews are working hard throughout Old East to keep streets, sidewalks, cycling lanes and bus stops safe and accessible during the heavy winter stretch. As we deal with the toughest weeks of winter, I also want to highlight the City’s expanded warming centres and winter response programs. These services are essential to ensuring our most vulnerable residents have access to warmth, safety and support during extreme cold. Old East Village has long been a compassionate and engaged part of our city, and your ongoing commitment to caring for every neighbour is something I’m deeply grateful for.
