With the pandemic, an energetic lab and a new baby at home, Gabriel had the opportunity to spend more time exploring the neighbourhood and meeting neighbours.

As a young professional couple, we moved our family into the Mooney’s Bay community some 40 years ago. Raising our family of 4, the Mooney’s Bay community and Ottawa area continues to be very important for our now larger families.
I wish to raise community and board level awareness, to maintain and enhance the character, quality of life and affordability of this community.
I look to your support.
