February 5 2026 newsletter
In my February newsletter, I highlight a busy month in Ottawa–Vanier and across Ontario, including Black History Month activities, Winterlude, and upcoming community events.
At Queen’s Park, I outline my role within the Ontario Liberal Caucus as Critic for the Attorney General, Francophone Affairs, and French Language Education, and as Liberal House Leader—focused on accountability, protecting democratic institutions, and defending and strengthening French-language services and education.
The newsletter also recaps recent local and regional engagements, including the ROMA conference, the launch of Retraite en Action’s new French-language programming for retirees, an interview on the importance of Franco-Ontarian bookstores, celebrations with MP Mona Fortier, the 6th anniversary of the Maison de la francophonie d’Ottawa, and the Vanier BIA AGM. Events and opportunities listed include Winterlude (Jan. 30–Feb. 16), Ontario Trillium Foundation Capital Grants (deadline March 4), and the Coldest Night of the Year walk on February 28 in support of The Mission.
December 2025 Newsletter
In this latest newsletter, I share highlights from a busy few weeks in our community and at Queen’s Park — from attending the Snowflake Breakfast and holding our government accountable, to supporting Franco-Ontarian culture, calling for education investments, and meeting with local organizations working to improve life for residents of all ages. Read more about these initiatives and upcoming events, including the holiday office hours.

Keeping Franco-Ontarian Bookstores Alive: Why Bill 58 Matters
Franco-Ontarian bookstores are more than just shops — they are vital cultural and community spaces. Once numbering 12 across the province, only three remain today. My Bill 58 aims to support these bookstores by requiring publicly funded institutions to purchase their French-language books locally, helping small businesses, strengthening Ontario’s publishing industry, and keeping tax dollars in the province.
Bernard grandmaître:- an exceptional politician
I feel privileged to have known Bernard Grandmaître, a neighbour, friend, and exceptional politician. His leadership and vision have left their mark on the history of Franco-Ontarians, and his legacy continues to strengthen our communities. His passing leaves a great void in our province and in the heart of the Franco-Ontarian community.
Legislative life is looking up for the Liberals
Ontario Liberals have regained official party status at Queen’s Park after clearing the 12-seat threshold in the February election. Ottawa–Vanier MPP Lucille Collard, now serving again as Liberal House Leader, is helping guide a larger caucus with expanded legislative tools, increased speaking time, and a stronger presence in the chamber.
