Summer in River Heights

River Heights

I want to first wish a happy “back to school” to all the teachers, guardians, parents, and students in River Heights. As a former teacher, I know how exciting it is to return to the classroom. Our provincial government is making life better for students with increased funding and a universal school nutrition program because we know that children learn best with a full stomach. Our team will continue to work hard to improve education in our province, including work on the new gym at Kelvin High School.

Summer is the time River Heights truly comes out to shine. From school picnics at year end, to the Academy Road BIZ street fair, the Corydon Community Centre barbecue and pride events, I’ve truly appreciated the opportunity to see so many of you celebrating our community.

This June, I had the chance to attend graduations across our wonderful constituency and again saw firsthand the bright future that awaits our province. Were in good hands with these incredible young people who truly believe in a more equitable, just and sustainable world for all. I was pleased to be able to recognize many of these outstanding champions of the future through the Citizen of the Year awards and was honoured to host them at a ceremony at the legislature.

And no summer in Winnipeg would be complete without Folklorama, where the true cultural mosaic of our province comes to shine. It was so wonderful to join with so many of my colleagues from the legislature attending pavilions across our city. We are stronger as a province when we celebrate the traditions and cultures of all who call Manitoba home.

It has been an incredibly busy summer in River Heights, and I’ve had the great opportunity to take time away from the legislature to canvass and meet with many of you on your doorstep. I know that this is a constituency that is deeply engaged and every conversation provided me with positive feedback on how our government can continue to make life better for everyone. For those who may have missed me at their door, I encourage you to reach out to our constituency office to help you navigate provincial services.

As your MLA and your voice in your provincial government, it’s important for me to represent you, and please let our office know about important events in your community. You can reach out to my office by emailing me at mike.moroz@yourmanitoba.ca or calling 204-774-3669.
