Congratulations to Tait’s Bakery & Deli on their grand opening in Downtown Brockville!   Wishing Elizabeth every success in this exciting new chapter. It’s wonderful to see local entrepreneurs investing in our community.   Be sure to stop by, say hello, and enjoy a delicious treat!

The Liberals talk about Buy Canadian, but awarded a nearly $12 million CRA contract to an American-owned company instead of the Commissionaires, Canada’s largest employer of veterans.

The reported price difference? Less than 1%. 
Canadian jobs and veterans should count for something.

I’m heartbroken by the tragic loss of four Canadian Armed Forces members at CFB Wainwright. My deepest condolences to their families, friends, and fellow soldiers. I’m praying for those injured and for their recovery. Canada mourns with our military families. 🇨🇦

It was great to join Ability Dogs Canada for a training class and see firsthand the remarkable skills these service dogs are developing. Service dogs can make a tremendous difference in people’s lives, and the dedication and patience that go into their training are inspiring. Thank you to Samantha, Raina, and everyone in the class for welcoming me and sharing this experience! 🐾🇨🇦

Are they allowed to pray? Veterans, service members, and their fellow Canadians deserve answers from the government on the directive banning military chaplains from prayer at Remembrance services.

It was a privilege to join Rosemarie Geraghty’s family, friends, and neighbours in Prescott last weekend for the unveiling of a memorial bench in her honour. A fitting tribute to Rosie and the kindness, friendship, and community spirit she brought to Prescott.

Exciting news in Gananoque as Gan Chev celebrates its 50th anniversary!   A heartfelt congratulations to the Hall family and the entire dealership team on five decades of dedicated service, hard work, and commitment to the community.   It's businesses like Gan Chev, and the people behind them, that make our community so special.

A heartfelt thank you to Seniors’ Community Services and Beth Donovan Hospice for organizing the wonderful 55+ Thrive and Wellness Fair. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with community members, share valuable information about safety, wellness, and staying socially connected, and highlight the resources available to help older adults live safely, confidently, and independently.

I appreciated the opportunity to join community members at the Hunger Awareness Breakfast in Maitland, hosted by the South Grenville Food Bank and Community Futures Grenville. 

Every person and family deserves the dignity and peace of mind that comes with having enough food on the table. It was encouraging to come together and discuss ways to make that a reality.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Westport Senior Living Information Fair and shared valuable resources to help our seniors stay informed, supported, and connected. It was wonderful to spend time with local residents and meet the people and organizations who do so much for our seniors.

Veterans stepped up to serve Canada. They shouldn’t have to fight their own government for the benefits they’ve earned. Nearly 10,000 disability benefit applications are overdue. The Liberals need to clear the backlog and deliver for veterans. It’s that simple.

Veterans are waiting for the government to act on nearly 10,000 overdue disability benefit applications. Now the Liberal government plans to cut disability benefits staffing by 20%. Veterans deserve timely decisions on the benefits they’ve earned.

It was a great weekend for the Grenville County Plowmen’s Association match. A special thank you to all the volunteers who worked hard to organize the event, and to the Scott family for generously providing such a great field for the competition. Events like this are a wonderful reminder of the strong agricultural traditions and community spirit in Grenville County. 🚜

My family and I were proud to participate in this year’s Brockville Butterfly Run in support of pregnancy and infant loss. This cause is deeply personal to us, and we were honoured to join family, friends, and community members in remembering and honouring the babies who will always hold a place in our hearts. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and participated. The funds raised through this year’s event will help support the important work of QueenCare and Lachlan’s Light Canada supporting families and reminding them they are not alone. 🦋

It’s an honour to be elected Vice-Chair of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs to serve Canada’s veterans and to continue advocating for the Canadians who answered the call to serve. When our nation asks extraordinary sacrifices of the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces, Canada has an obligation to ensure veterans receive the highest standard of care, respect, and support. Working alongside veterans, military families, and communities across Canada, I’ll be engaging with parliamentarians to improve the support veterans have earned while holding the government accountable to deliver on it. 🇨🇦

Today, on Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day, we remember the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. I was honoured to join the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Run in Brockville as runners made their way from Toronto to Ottawa. We must never forget those who gave their lives in service, and we remain grateful to all those who continue to serve and protect our communities. 🇨🇦

Brockville is home to outstanding businesses, organizations, volunteers and community leaders, and their contributions deserve to be celebrated.

Congratulations to all the winners, finalists and nominees of the 67th Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce Awards of Excellence.

And thank you to the Chamber team for another great evening celebrating the people who make Brockville such a special place to live, work and do business!

Job #1 is to stand up for Canada. 🇨🇦 That means defending our sovereignty, protecting Canadian jobs, and strengthening our economy. Canadians deserve to know what the government will do to save Canadian families money.

I was pleased to visit St. Lawrence Lodge and Wellington House for Long-Term Care Community Engagement Day and connect with residents, staff, volunteers, and members of the Resident Council.   Thank you to everyone who helps provide exceptional care and support to residents and their families every day. Your dedication, compassion, and commitment make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many, and your efforts are truly appreciated.
