As we head into September, I want to take a moment to welcome students, teachers, and staff back to school. I hope everyone had a fun, restful summer and is feeling ready for a fresh start. In my role as your MLA, I continue to stand with Alberta’s educators in their call for fair wages, smaller class sizes, and improved learning environments. These are more than individual school issues; they are community issues. Strong public schools help to build strong communities, and every child deserves the chance to thrive.
This summer, I had the chance to attend a number of community celebrations that really showed off the best of our province. Stampede offered a great reminder of Alberta’s history and culture, while Folk Fest highlighted the incredible diversity that makes this province feel so welcoming. Despite the rainy weather, Neighbour Day was full of thoughtful, creative gatherings, and Canada Day events were a great chance to reflect on what it means to build a strong Alberta within a strong Canada.
I’ve also continued doorknocking throughout the summer and hearing from many of you. Some of the most common concerns remain consistent: the rising cost of living, the measles outbreak (please check your vaccine status!), and worries about the unsettling conversations around separation.
As always, I am here to listen and help however I can. If you have questions about provincial services, need support navigating a program, or would like to invite me to a community event, please reach out at [email protected] or 403-288-4453.
Wishing everyone a great start to the fall!
