A note from the Councillor
Hello Ward 13
April showers have come and gone and now May flowers are on their way. And with the weather slowly but surely improving, it’s construction season. We have a lot of infrastructure projects that need to be completed this year, and there will be some disruption to our daily lives that will come along with the necessary repairs.
So practice a little patience as you go through your day in our ward. And make sure to stop and shop at the businesses affected by the construction. With some patience and some kindness, we can have a great spring and a fantastic summer.

Regards, David Ferreira Councillor Ward 13, London Ontario

Update: Health and Homelessness Summit: Whole of Community System Response Plan
Whole of Community System Response
The primary focus of the plan is establishing a network of 12-15 hubs across the city. These hubs will offer a range of services in an integrated, multi-agency and interprofessional model, that is population-specific to meet unique demographic and care needs, supported by one central phone number for referral, and designed to ensure timely and direct pathways to housing. The plan emphasizes high support housing with 24/7 on-site care available. 100 units of highly supportive housing are targeted for completion this year, growing to 600 highly supportive housing units over the next three years.
Whole of Community Response – Fund for Change.
Seeded by the generous and historic gift of $25 million from an anonymous London family, who also committed an additional $5 million in matching dollars.
Since the announcement, over 250 Londoners have donated an additional $1,000,000; with matching dollars, the total raised so far exceeds $27,000,000.
Our short-term goal is to raise the next $4,000,000 and leverage the matching dollars, giving our municipal leaders the boost they need when lobbying senior levels of Government.
