Hello, my constituents!
Happy December!
This month, the Alberta Legislature will continue Fall Session until we finish debating as many pieces of legislation as we can before going into break! It is a great privilege to be the voice of Calgary-Beddington and defend the interests of my constituency.
As we head into the full winter season, I would like to remind everyone to be mindful of our elderly citizens. On Nov. 6-12, I delivered a message to mark National Senior Safety Week. If you see a senior in need of assistance, please step up! I had a wonderful time visiting my seniors at the Manor Village in Huntington last month, and I look forward to visiting them before Christmas. Seniors are the strength of Alberta!
On November 1st, I joined my government colleagues to witness the end to the over decade-long wait for a North Calgary High School! Our residents have a government that listened, and delivered for our students. Thank you to all the advocates for your years of dedication and passion. Congratulations to the Northern Hills Community Association for your advocacy. The school, along with two dozen other approved school projects across the province, will address the incoming wave of young Albertans ready to learn!
As Minister of Seniors and Housing, I am also responsible for our veterans. Alberta is home to countless retired armed forces members, who bravely fought for the values we cherish every day as Canadians. On Remembrance Day, it was a great honour to recognize the sacrifices made by those service members who lost their lives, and the ones who today need our support. Alberta’s veterans can access a wide variety of services and supports, including financial programs, employment and training services, housing, and crisis supports.

Please reach out to my constituency office for anything we can assist you with. We look forward to continue hearing from you!
