Thank you, Lanark–Frontenac.
We didn't get the result we hoped for, but we built something extraordinary. Nearly 300 volunteers, countless donors & endorsers made a real difference! I’m proud and deeply grateful. #cdnpoli #LanarkFrontenac

Since 2015 the Federal Government has invested over $22 million in #Lanark #Frontenac infrastructure. That is real savings on municipal tax bills. This continued investment helps rural municipalities like ours & is very welcome! See the projects here housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/gmap-gcarte/...

Attended the Verona Remembrance Day Ceremony today with my father-in-law. At the end he placed a poppy on the RCAF wreath for his uncle Rodney Campsall, shot down over Germany in WWII. Our family remembers the sacrifice & we thank all those who continue to serve & work for peace.

Violet Femmes Friday in Almonte was amazing! A wonderful event for a very worthy cause that is so needed in #Lanark #Frontenac. Lanark County Interval House provides support to so many women & families. Now to get a comprehensive national strategy declaring IPV an epidemic!

Stopped by Rotary Women’s Fair in #carletonplace today. Thanked the volunteers & checked in with merchants. Small businesses are the backbone of our riding & tend to be first to feel a tightening economy, but they still give generously. $3,000 ➡️ #Lanark County Interval House ❤️

Great to stop in & visit with Central Frontenac Township staff & council at their open house yesterday in Sharbot Lake. Had a very nice tour of their new offices in a historic building. A super space where so many important services are being coordinated. #Frontenac

#Lanark #Frontenac is full of small towns with big character & Battersea is one of them. The Pumpkin Festival this past weekend was an amazing event & one you won’t want to miss next year! Congrats to all the volunteers & organizers!

The cost of train travel has to come down! This would allow communities in between to better access the service & then 70% wouldn’t ask to skip those in the middle. The environment & rural Canada deserves better! Thanks @markgerretsen.bsky.social for standing up for us! #Lanark #Frontenac

🌙 As the moon shines bright at the end of this day of #TruthAndReconciliation, I am left contemplating the many rich conversations I had from Carleton Place to Almonte to Perth. We do not walk this path alone, but we must each find our own meaning & always honour the truth. 🪶

🚒 Yesterday I had a great chat with a Lanark Highlands Fire Service volunteer about recruitment. Younger volunteers are always needed, so if you know of anyone who might be interested, have them check out 👉www.lanarkhighlands.ca/lh-residents/emergency-services-alias/fire-services#top & apply!

Stopped by Algonquin Campus in Perth to see how those on the line were doing. Every job matters & rural communities feel the losses deeply. Keeping education accessible means support for workers & fighting to keep our institutions close to home. #saveourcampus #Lanark #Frontenac

Honoured to present 70th FHG-USMC Anniversary coins to the St. Lawrence Parks Commission at Fort Henry last Thurs with my dear friend & Fort Henry Guard Club of Canada co-director John Grenville. The Guard-Marine exchanges, a unique international relationship, reminds us old friendships can endure.
