An update from Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor
I am also thankful for the many infrastructure projects underway. Thanks to funding from other levels of government, we are able to upgrade our water systems, sewers, and roads. I appreciate the hard work of civic administration, knowing that together, we will get through these construction projects. Additionally, I am grateful for being re-elected to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, representing London for another two years. It’s crucial for municipalities to stand together and work collaboratively with the provincial government. I am always thankful for the opportunity to engage with residents. I encourage everyone to attend information sessions and public participation meetings. It’s vital that we listen to different points of view, respect one another, and work together. Lastly, I am thankful for being alive to witness my family grow and for the ability to support my friends, family, and colleagues through both challenges and celebrations. You can reach me anytime at ahopkins@london.ca or www.annahopkins.ca. Take care of each other, As a Candidate for Ward 9 in this year ’ s Municipal Election will be a number of conversations that I will be talking abou constituents.
Let’s Talk I have been fortunate to serve our community as an elected official, over - seeing public policy and processes for the municipal government. My role involves attending numerous commit- tee, board, and council meetings, and addressing residents’ concerns. Recently, an assistant asked me, “What are you thankful for?” That ques- tion made me reflect on the issues we face from a different perspective. I am thankful for our multicultural population, which brings diversity
to our community. We each bring different interests, skills, talents, and needs. We are fortunate to have historical buildings, churches, theatres, halls, and festivals that celebrate this diversity. It’s also an honour to be part of Canada’s first UNESCO City of Music. I am grateful for our natural heritage, especially our trees, parks, and the beautiful Springbank Park. I am proud to have been part of a council that supported a Climate Action Plan for our city. As a community, we are now focused on five key actions: transportation, home/building energy efficiency, adaptation, awareness, and recognition.
