Hello residents of Ward 13
We’re now in September, with our kids about to head back to school. And with the return to school, the sidewalks will be full of our excited kids making their way to and from school each day. So, we need to do our part to make their trips as safe as possible. September is a great time to get back into good driving habits: slow down, be aware, and give pedestrians and cyclists the time they need to safely travel where they need to go.
Please visit my website www.davidferreira.ca for newsletters, ward meetings, current city initiatives and other resources.
Regards,
David Ferreira
Councillor Ward 13, London Ontario
