This page collects Kelly DeRidder's work in Ottawa on behalf of Kitchener Centre. It includes speeches in the House of Commons, letters to ministers, and posts about her meetings and events at home.
Housing is a clear focus. Kelly has written to the federal government in support of Kitchener's Fire Station 8 project, which would create 281 affordable homes and build them together with emergency services. She has also spoken about barrier-free homes for people with disabilities, and about prevention and recovery as ways to address youth homelessness. Her Private Member's Bill C-240 supports abstinence-based recovery, and it passed second reading in the House of Commons unanimously.
You will also see her work on local jobs and community concerns. She has highlighted Kitchener's innovation sector and the need for Canadian companies to be part of federal procurement. She hosted a CUSMA roundtable on trade and held a town hall on social media legislation at Doon Pioneer Park Community Centre. She also sponsored a petition on local journalism after 570 NewsRadio ended broadcasting, and she met with Camino Wellbeing + Mental Health about its Path to Education program.
