🌟Nicole is a brilliant, ambitious, and accomplished young Ward 7 Athlete! She's strong in not one, not two, but THREE Special Olympics sports: Figure Skating ⛸️, Rhythmic Gymnastics 🤸, and Swimming🏊‍♀️!

Need more inspiration? This past August, Nicole attended the 2026 Special Olympics National Summer Games in Medicine Hat, Alberta, and came back with 1 bronze and 5 silver medals in Rhythmic Gymnastics! 🥉🥈🥈🥈🥈🥈On behalf of your Ward 7 neighbours: congratulations, !! You're a true champion.👏

Words cannot convey just how inspiring her determination and spirit are. Spending time with Nicole - and her incredibly proud mom - while presenting her with a certificate was truly one of the highlights of my week.💗

As a former small business owner, I remember well the excitement of a grand opening. I'm always honoured and proud to share in that excitement with new Ward 7 businesses, as I was privileged to do yesterday with Hamilton Mountain's Lifemark Physiotherapy location at 210 Mohawk Road East. , may you prosper and find joy in the restorative, life-enhancing services you offer our residents!
