Helping People Improving Lives | Jul 21, 2026

This phrase is an apt and accurate description of the vision and service of the South Essex Community Council (SECC). SECC is a local nonprofit organization that provides programs for children and youth, seniors, newcomers, employers, job seekers, and learners. They are dedicated to making South Essex a welcoming place for everyone. Thank you, Carolyn Warkentin, for the update on the work of the SECC and First Work and to your team for the incredible support and dedication to the success of the people in our region.

Billys | Jul 20, 2026

This week’s “Team Lewis Monday Lunch Out” was at Billys Taphouse on Talbot N in Essex!

Today was a salad day! We enjoyed the Roasted Beet Salad, Smoked Salmon Salad and the Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese with some side greens! So good! (We also can attest to the deliciousness of the Fish Tacos and the Brisket Sandwich, among other favorites). Locally sourced, real ingredients. Dishes that are created with a unique twist and made onsite! Truly fresh, local fare!

Congratulations Essex Legion – Branch 201 on your 95th Anniversary! | Jul 19, 2026

It is an honour to celebrate your many years of service and support to our veterans.

Thank you for a job well done!

“People who put themselves on the line and sacrifice their own safety for the greater good and for others, and anyone in any profession whose concern is the welfare for other people instead of the individual, are inspiring and important.” – Chris Hemsworth

Welcome to Amherstburg, SV Care Pharmacy and Clinic! | Jul 18, 2026

Canada needs to build more homes, faster | Jul 18, 2026

New CMHC data shows housing starts moved in the wrong direction in June. The six-month trend in housing starts was down 2.8% compared to May, and actual monthly housing starts in larger centres were down 13% compared to June 2025. For families, young people, and seniors trying to find an affordable place to live, this is a real concern. We need practical action that lowers costs, reduces delays, speeds up approvals, and helps get more homes built. Canadians deserve a housing plan that delivers results.

Play On! | Jul 17, 2026

It was great catching up with Erica Fryer to talk about Play On!, a national initiative that aims to build community and promote outdoor play through street hockey.
 
Thank you for the inspiring work you do to support children and communities across our nation! Your dedication is making a meaningful difference in so many young lives.
 
Keep up the great work Erica!

Quick trip to Ottawa | Jul 15, 2026

I’m back in the City of Ottawa on a quick trip of many meetings.

It was a great opportunity to catch up with and celebrate our amazing team members that work so hard to help me represent Essex.

Lunch at Kiwanis Sunshine Point Camp | Jul 13, 2026

It is always good to see kids having a carefree week of summer camp – playing games, keeping cool in the pool, doing crafts and enjoying some really good food! Kiwanis runs a great program with an energized, enthusiastic and invested team! Thank you to the sponsors, donors and the Camp Team that keep Kiwanis camp going each year. Your investment in our kids is an investment in our future!

Rose’s Kitchen | Jul 13, 2026

This week’s “Team Lewis Monday Lunch Out” was at Rose’s Kitchen, a local favourite! Located at 189 Talbot St South, in the plaza by Foodland, Rose’s Kitchen features an extensive breakfast menu, homecooked meals and fabulous desserts! We would agree!

We enjoyed the soup of the day, Chicken and Rice, with Greek salad and decadent rice pudding and lemon meringue pie for dessert. If you are looking for a good homecooked meal, you really should check out Rose’s Kitchen!

eBay Canada | Jul 13, 2026

Did you know Canada has the second largest collectibles economy in the world?

Online platforms for selling used goods and collectibles play an important role in helping entrepreneurs and small business owners reach customers around the world. Great to meet with eBay Canada to discuss how the federal government can best support entrepreneurs, small businesses, and Canada’s digital economy.

Cooper’s Landing | Jul 10, 2026

We have been celebrating the success and commitment to community of BK Cornerstone since I was elected. Brent and the BK Cornerstone Team continue to set standards and exceed expectations in the projects they build. Coopers Landing is no exception. This is Essex County’s first net zero ready neighbourhood. BK Cornerstone is working hard to provide incredible value at affordable prices. The name Cooper’s Landing, Brent Klundart explained has meaning. “A Landing is a place where you arrive, put down roots and thrive.” Congratulations on launching this project after many years of careful planning. I was pleased to join the celebration at today’s ribbon cutting!

Call with Pierre | Jul 9, 2026

Great to get an unexpected phone call from Pierre, today, checking in on Essex, as he is busy criss-crossing the country, meeting with Canadians in their communities.

I appreciate his words of encouragement for my team as we continue to serve the fine folks of Essex

Manufacturing matters in | Jul 9, 2026

When Canadian manufacturers are considering moving production to the United States, that should concern everyone — workers, families, small businesses, and communities like ours. Canada needs to be a place where businesses can build, hire, invest, and compete. That means lower costs, less red tape, faster approvals, reliable energy, and a serious plan to protect Canadian jobs.

I will continue to stand up for policies that make Canada stronger at home, support our local economy, and keep opportunity here in Windsor–Essex.

Dean Construction | Jul 6, 2026

This company was found right in the heart of LaSalle, are specialists in marine construction and deep foundations. A family owned business that celebrates it’s founding 100 years ago! As leaders in the marine construction industry, Dean Construction continues to challenge their capabilities with forward-thinking innovation and cutting-edge solutions. As a company they hold tightly to their core values in safety, client satisfaction, transparency, innovation and efficiency. Once more I am deeply impressed with a company, right in our back yard, doing incredible work across Ontario!

Funfest parade | Jul 4, 2026

After the storm, it was good to see the crowds line the streets at the Essex Funfest Parade!

You couldn’t help but feel the sense of community, the Canadian spirit and the celebration of summer!

Helping the community | Jul 4, 2026

As we stand in front of Windsor built cars, we continue to fight for auto workers and our community!

The Proctor family were bringing attention to the great demand on our local food banks and encouraging the community to support. 

Time for a parade!! | Jul 1, 2026

Happy Canada Day! Team Lewis and Team Borrelli here at the Lakeshore Canada Day parade in beautiful Stoney Point! There’s still time to get here!

Happy Canada Day! | Jul 1, 2026

This day is a time to celebrate the country we are blessed to call home and to reflect on the freedoms, opportunities, and responsibilities that come with being Canadian. From Essex to communities across our great nation, Canada is built by hardworking families, volunteers, small businesses, farmers, veterans, first responders, and neighbours who care for one another. As we celebrate, let us also remember those who have served and sacrificed to protect the freedoms we enjoy. Wishing everyone across Essex a safe, joyful, and meaningful day.
