Feeling grateful for the kindness @SenatorRobBlack showed to my niece and me on his busy #FutureFoosCanada day. A thrilled Irish student is impressed with the warm Canadian hospitality demonstrated on her visit to our nation's capital. Thank you!
It was great catching up with @ROInstitute’s Gabe Ferguson yesterday at #CdnAGDay2023 & her niece Grace visiting from Ireland. I was pleased to take them on a quick tour of the @SenateCA Building & the Senate Chamber. Thanks Grace for your interest in our political system.

Chuck Baresich of Haggarty Agrobotics says Open your eyes and discover all the opportunities available to us as entrepreneurs, too often we limit the possibilities that are available when we don't collaborate and stay open. #FutureFoodCanada @AALP #aginnovation
