With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I put some thought into what I’m thankful for in 2024.
I’m thankful for this year’s bountiful harvest brought in by Alberta’s farmers. It was looking bleak at the beginning of the season as a multi-year drought persisted. But rain did eventually fall, giving farmers some much-needed relief. Support our food producers and buy local when you can!
I’m thankful for the first responders for putting their lives on the line every day, especially those who have spent a long season fighting wildfires across Alberta. It’s a taxing and dangerous job that asks so much of workers and their families. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
I’m thankful for healthcare workers who put up with a lot of grief and uncertainty that started with the pandemic and seems to have only worsened since. I’m thankful for their persistence in providing world-class care despite the challenges.
I’m thankful for teachers! As parents, we trust that each day we send our kids off to school, they will learn all that they need to be successful, secure, and happy in the classroom and beyond. This is no easy feat! We’ve started a fun tradition of visiting the 30 schools in Calgary-Currie with a little treat to welcome the staff back. It is certainly well-earned.
Thank you to the businesses that dot the riding, thank you for your wares, your service, and your delicious food. It’s no secret that supporting small and local businesses is a favourite pastime of mine. You are the key to a resilient economy and workforce.
Lastly, I’m thankful for the honour of being your elected representative. I’m proud to be entrusted with your stories, your challenges, and your successes, and I’ll continue to serve each and every resident of Calgary-Currie with integrity, honesty, and an open-mind.
