Summer 2024 Recap

For most people, summer is a time to kick back and relax. But for politicians, summer is a time to kick it into high gear. The very purpose for politicians is to represent their constituency, and we cannot do that without visiting just about as many people as we can in our community. I see summer as the very best time to do that, and I sure covered a lot of ground these past few months.

It was an honour to see 102-year-old World War Two veteran Len Van Roon at the Charleswood 100 Tank Memorial Plaque Unveiling! Funds raised by this project are going to help maintain the Legion’s tank, an iconic symbol of Charleswood and a landmark that can’t be missed.

My yo-yo’s were a big hit the at WPG 150! Exactly 150 yo-yo's were handed out to kids and their parents who came together to the Charleswood dog park to celebrate Winnipeg's anniversary.

I am honoured to have been able to speak at this years Canada Day citizenship ceremony. I would like to extend a sincere congratulations to all those who have officially become a part of our Canadian family today. What a great day to become a citizen!

One of my favourite things about summer is having more time to meet constituents at the doors and listening to their concerns. Everyone is saying the same thing: I’ve had enough of Justin Trudeau and it's time to bring some common sense back to Ottawa.

I had a great time walking in the parade with my Conservative colleagues and handing out yo-yo’s at the Manitoba Filipino street festival! A big thank you to the organizers and all the volunteers for making this wonderful event possible. Events like these make me feel so fortunate to live in our great city.

I will never get tired of talking about how many great initiatives there are in our community. Check out a few of those I visited this summer!

Marymound’s comprehensive programs make a profound difference in the lives of vulnerable youth and their families.

RRC Polytech prepares the next generation of Manitobans for the workforce.

From transporting goods to ensuring Manitobans get to their medical appointments, Perimeter Aviation is an essential service to our community.

We are so lucky to have a world class zoo right here in Winnipeg, and I was grateful to learn of its initiatives such as keeping endangered animals safe and educational programs for children.

This summer I had a series of meetings with the Filipino, Jewish, Ukrainian, Indo/Sikh and Black communities along with my colleague MP Arpan Khanna. We heard their concerns loud and clear. They do not feel heard or respected under the current government, and their once positive vision of Canada has been damaged beyond belief. My Conservative colleagues and I will restore Canada’s potential and offer all of Canada’s communities a voice to be heard.

Summer is over now and I was extremely happy to spend it in the riding. It's time to go to Ottawa to keep working on axing the tax and representing the good people of Charleswood-St. James- Assiniboia-Headingley. Stay tuned!
