Honouring Fire Fighting Retirees | June 17, 2023
What an honour to be at the Awards and Retirement Banquet for retirees at the Amherstburg Fire Department tonight. These men have served their community faithfully over the years. It was an honour to celebrate them with others!
Thank you for your service.
Cut the taxes| June 12, 2023
The first carbon tax did not succeed in reducing emissions, and this second one will not either. The Liberals with NDP support have not hit a single climate target since they brought in their carbon tax.
Conservatives will axe these taxes and bring home affordability for Canadians. We will protect our environment through technology, not taxes.
Kicking off the Summer! | June 10, 2023
Kicked off the summer events with the great Town of LaSalle “Strawberry Festival” Parade! It was great to meet so many people along the parade route and even a few fur friends! If you haven’t gotten over to the Vollmer for strawberries and ice cream you should make some time to indulge! I hear this evening’s entertainment is the Autumn Kings, a fantastic hometown band that’s getting recognition on the world stage. If you’ve never heard them, this is a great opportunity to check them out!

Safari Club International | June 7, 2023
It was a full house in my office this afternoon! Delegates with Safari Club International stopped by for a discussion about Canada’s proud hunting heritage and the future of hunting across our country.

Building the Labour Force | June 7, 2023
Today I met with another company doing great work supporting our skilled trades folks and growing our labour force.
Enercare provides a variety of services to Canadians across the country, including heating, cooling, and water filtration. Thank you for the conversation and, more importantly, your investment into Canada.
Supporting Youth | June 7, 2023
Had an early start with Craig Brockwell of Support Ontario Youth (SOY), a charitable organization that provides practical support and mentoring for skilled trades across the board, from employers to apprentices. Did you know that over the next 3-8 years at least 500,000 skilled trades workers will be retiring?! That is a huge number and will leave a tremendous gap in the workforce. SOY is encouraging and promoting skilled trades as a very rewarding career choice in this vital field that is literally building Canada.
Day at the Range | June 6, 2023

It was also an honour to have Essex County’s very own Wolfhead Distillery and Vin Winery featured at this event of the year!
