Today, I attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Kingsway Legion.

We remembered all those who have served and continue to serve Canada. Those who served in war and in peace. Your sacrifice and dedication will never be forgotten.

Lest we forget.

A local teacher visited my office yesterday!

We had a conversation about the difficulties teachers and students are facing in Alberta’s classrooms.

Let’s keep supporting our teachers to defend our public education system and create a better future for our province.

Better is possible!

Just a reminder that schools will be closed starting tomorrow, Monday, October 6th due to the teacher's strike.

Today, I visited our local schools to drop off some sweet treats and show my support and appreciation.

The UCP’s refusal to bargain in good faith leaves parents scrambling as a strike is set to begin Monday, October 6th.

Alberta's NDP stands with teachers, parents and students.

We've received a leaked cabinet document showing that the Premier plans to increase co-pays for prescriptions.

This will force seniors to pay hundreds of millions more for their medications.

Cuts, cruelty and corruption. That’s the UCP playbook.

I had the great pleasure of presenting a scroll to the Army Navy Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) Sir Winston Churchill Unit #3!

In the armed forces, they served Canada admirably. Now, as veterans, they continue to contribute in numerous meaningful ways to the community.

Thank you for all that you do!
