Happy to work with a group of amazing high school volunteers to help clear fallen leaves along the curbsides for our local seniors.

Keeping our streets clean and safe before the snow arrives helps prevent clogged drains. It’s one small way we can look out for one another.

If you know any seniors in my ward who need a hand with leaf cleanup, let me know. We’ll try to organize another one soon 👍🏻😀

On behalf of Ward 6 residents, I extend our deepest condolences following the tragic incident at First Roots Early Education Academy, located at 11384 Yonge Street, at Nottingham Drive, in Richmond Hill. It’s being reported that a car driven by a man in his 70s drove through a window of the facility adjacent to the parking lot. An 18-month-old toddler has tragically died, six other children are injured, along with three adult staff members.

We are heartbroken over this loss, and our thoughts are with the child who remains in critical condition, the injured children and staff, and their families. We thank York Regional Police, firefighters, paramedics, and hospital staff for their swift response. Ward 6 residents stand united in grief and support for all those affected by this tragedy.

The Province of Ontario is transitioning the blue box program to a new model that makes producers of recyclable materials responsible for their collection and processing instead of municipalities.

Starting January 1, 2026, residential recycling in Richmond Hill will be managed by Circular Materials (CM), a non-profit organization that represents producers. CM has contracted Miller Waste to collect your blue box recycling and manage customer service inquiries. You will continue to receive uninterrupted recycling collection service on your regular collection day.
