Orléans

Lewloss from Ward.

Ward 1, Orleans East.

Ward 1, Orleans East for the conversation.

But before we jump into it, I just want to give you some context with regards to this conversation.

So essentially every candidate who decides to come on gets the same 15 questions in the same order.

Um, touching on growth picture your war 10 years from now with council having made all the right calls, describe it.

What does it look like? What does it feel like? Sure.

I mean, I think that like still recognizable as, as Orleans East Cumberland, there's a lot of really great things about our ward that I don't want to change.

Where'd you, where'd you go?

Uh, went along the Ottawa River to Gatineau, or Aylmer, I guess, and then to, had to deliver to Alex Adams, Sandy Hill area, up to Orleans.

Had, like, six deliveries in Orleans, back to Nepean, Barrhaven, back into-

Oh

...

What is your ward in terms of, so people who know what Ward 1 is, what is that area?

So Ward 1 is, it's called Orleans East Cumberland.

So it's essentially defined as the area right around Plast Orleans.

Okay.

All the way out east to just, you know, Cumberland right before Rockland.

that people are going to be like, all right, fine, you got it online, but I'm not getting on that.

So one of the things that I've proposed is to impose something called a reliability guarantee.

And it's essentially, it's a pilot program that I would want to implement in Orleans specifically, but it's actually something you can apply citywide.

Uh, for a lot of people, that probably sparks a memory from the Ottawa area.

Where did I go? Um, there used to be a place in Orleans.

So I was a Gloucester kid.

Uh, there used to be a place in Orleans called Mexicali Roses, and, uh, that was, like, the first introduction of fajitas on a, on a hot plate.

And, you know, again, I was young, so I was enamored by stupid things.

So that was more or less where I'd go.

Do you wanna help out?" I go, "I have never really done an event like that.

I'm more of a corporate guy." I go, "But I have some friends in the industry." So I, I made a call to one of my good friends, uh, a, a fellow by the name of Mark Plante, uh, who owns Stray Dog Brewing i, in Orleans, just outside of Ottawa.

Called him, and within I would say less than 24 hours, we...

He reached out to another fellow brewery, uh, brewer, and as you know, as a community, right? So, um, they, they have a pretty big venue, and within 24 hours they reached back and they said, "Hey, we've freed up October 17th.
