During Remembrance Week, I was proud to highlight the volunteers of the Byron Springbank Legion, supporting London’s veterans since 1952.

Nov. 11 is a solemn time to honour the bravery, courage, and sacrifice of those who have served and those who serve today.

Lest we forget.

Today at Queens Park I called on the government to provide the increased operating funding Ontario colleges and universities urgently need to support our communities and our economy.
