I heard there had been a lot of thefts from cars and homes last night on Mathers Ave near the high school.

I was in a bad bike on bike crash and it has dented my confidence. Before getting back on the bike again, I want to research defensive cycling resources and accessories. I know that Hub offers a course that might cover this topic and I would love to hear feedback, suggestions for learning and of accessories.

Many groups have been advocating for this for some time.

Our neighbours have rented out their house and a tree at a back of their lot is pushing their wall onto our lot, it looks really bad at the moment but will probably not break for another year or so.

We talked to the tenant and he said he would tell the landlord but that was a four months ago and no action. tenant is a realtor and there is no management company involved.

I was planning to send a registered letter addressed to the owners of the property but wanted to see if there were better options or if our council could intervene. Ideally I want to maintain good relations with the neighbours.

The phases were

• Phase 1: Millennium Park, John Lawson Park, and Dundarave Park
• Phase 2: Whytecliff Park and Horseshoe Bay Park
• Phase 3: Ambleside Park

I have not noticed any Bylaw officers around this summer, previously I Would see them once a week at Ambleside Park and I am starting to notice people breaking rules, cycling in the dog walking area for example.

We've spent plenty of time (rightfully) documenting the greatest hits of our local political circus , the theatrics, the questionable decisions, the bylaw department that somehow manages to make people feel unwelcome in their own community, and a cast of characters whose competence levels range from "concerning" to "where did you even come from."

No need to relitigate all that here. The receipts exist.

But October is coming, and with it a genuine chance to reset. So here's a different question:

Who's actually been doing the work?

Are there councillors or officials who've shown up, listened, followed through, and treated residents like adults? Generally acted like public service is a responsibility rather than a personality?

If so, they deserve to be named ; because blanket cynicism is also how bad councils keep getting re-elected. Voters who can't name a single good actor tend to stay home.

Who gets your vote of confidence, and why? Keep it specific. This isn't the thread for re-litigating the usual suspects; there are plenty of other posts for that.
