Hey there, time traveller!

Summer is here, and what a great one it’s been so far. Warm weather has made it the perfect time to spend with family and friends. It is also a time for new projects to begin construction.

Over the past seven years, I have fought hard to bring projects to our community that have, and will have, a huge positive impact on our lives. From education and infrastructure to residents’-association and neighbourhood-upkeep projects, I have made sure that these projects were, and will continue to be, funded by our government for the enhancement and safety of our community. I have made a list of these projects, and the total funding they have received below:

Large capital projects totalling over $400 million:

• A new Louis Riel School Division K-8 French-immersion school commencing construction this summer in Sage Creek, which includes 74 additional child-care spaces; -A new Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine K-8 French school commencing construction this year in Sage Creek, which includes 74 additional child-care spaces;

• A new interchange for the Perimeter Highway at St. Mary’s Road, currently under construction;

• A new interchange for the Perimeter Highway at St. Anne’s Road, slated to commence construction this year.

Small capital projects totalling over $3 million:

• Grant for Save Our Seine (SOS) urban restoration and enhancement pilot project -Grant for Island Lakes Residents’ Group’s covered picnic shelter at Waterfront Park;

• Grant for Sage Creek Residents’ Association’s fitness pump track project;

• Funding for Living Prairie Childcare’s new facility expansion providing 60 additional spaces;

• Grant for SCRA’s Ron Duhamel Park enhancement project;

• Grant for ILRG’s Seigneurie Park SEIG pathway construction;

• Grant for the construction of SOS’ accessibility dock at John Bruce Park off the Seine River;

• Grant for J.H. Bruns Collegiate’s parents advisory council community theatre upgrade campaign;

• Multiple Green Team grants for SCRA;

• Multiple Green Team grants for Meadowood Manor personal care home;

• Grant for Niakwa Place School PAC‘s community kitchen; -Grant for ILRG’s outdoor fitness equipment at Lindsey Wilson Park;

• Funding for the construction of two new classrooms at École Guyot.

I look forward to bringing more benefits to our community over the coming years, not just as your MLA, but as your friend and neighbour living right here amongst you for more than a decade. Thank you for your support, and continue enjoying this wonderful summer.
