My hometown!!! St. Thomas is so fascinating, and they’ve done some seriously incredible work on homelessness prevention. A fantastic blueprint for other small towns in Ontario.
The Morning Edition - K-W with Craig Norris: Transit advocates call on region to avoid cuts to GRT budget www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
Had the pleasure of speaking to @katebueckert.bsky.social on the CBC KW morning show about the proposed GRT cuts!
GRT Grand River Transit Service reductions In order to keep the 2025 budget increase below 8 per cent, the following service reductions are being considered: Cancellation of Route 35 Greenbrook Reduce frequency on Route 9 Lakeshore and Route 30 Ring Road from every 20 minutes to every 30 minutes Reduce frequency on Route 55 Grand Ridge from every 30 minutes to every 60 minutes Remove 50 per cent of trips on Route 26 Trillium Summer service reductions would begin one week earlier Remove garbage cans at bus stops
This is absolutely insane. Our region doesn't have enough money to fund GARBAGE CANS at bus stops but has money to increase the police budget.
We need to get more people out to speak Tues Dec 3, 5:30pm at the Strategic Planning and Budget Input Committee meeting!

Waterloo Region is currently proposing some pretty detrimental cuts to transit this budget season, including removing garbage disposal from stations. I’ve started a petition with the UWaterloo NDP in opposition of these cuts. A signature and a share would be greatly appreciated!
Did you know the upcoming Region of Waterloo budget proposes service reductions of route cancellations, frequency reductions, and removal of garbage cans at bus stops?
Delegate in support of GRT service expansions & against these reductions at the Budget Input Meeting on Dec 3 at 5:30pm.
