Honouring our communities

As we officially move into the fall season, I hope that everyone was able to take some time this summer to enjoy the amazing weather and the natural beauty here in Red River North.
Over the past week or so I have had the opportunity for myself and my family to enjoy the beautiful areas of Grand Beach, Grand Marais and Victoria Beach and take part in local activities. We are so fortunate here in Red River North to have these natural resources at our doorsteps.
I was honoured to attend the opening of the new play structure at Hugh McDonald Park in East St. Paul on Sept. 25, along with Mayor Carla Devlin and councillors Brian Imhoff, Charles Posthumus and Orest Horechko. This was another great announcement for East St. Paul and another great investment by Manitoba taxpayers and the Government of Manitoba. The new, accessible play structure is very user-friendly and very safe. The provincial government provided $50,000 through the From the Ground Up – Safe Healthy Communities for All program. I also want to commend the staff of the R.M. of East St. Paul who were instrumental in making the new structure a reality.

Cycling with Sarah, founded in 2022, is Manitoba’s first senior women’s cycling club. Co-founder Sarah Gravelle-McKenzie and club members will be honoured in a private member’s statement by Red River North MLA Jeff Wharton on Oct. 29.
I was pleased to attend the retirement dinner for two long serving firefighters from the R.M. of St. Clements. Keith Howanyk and Randy Schwab were recognized on Sept. 27 at the St. Clements Fire Hall. Keith has over 33 years of service Randy has over 27 years. Congratulations on your retirement and thank you so much for your many years of service keeping the R.M. of St. Clements safe.
On Oct. 29th I will be recognizing Sarah Gravelle-McKenzie and members of her Cycling with Sarah group for senior women in a private member’s statement at the Legislature. Sarah says the club is committed to physical and mental well-being of senior women and supporting each other at all times. For Sarah, cycling is a passion and as a co-founder, along with Rose McDonald, and leader of the group, she said it has become very much a year-round commitment. The group has grown from 18 members during its first year in 2022 to 80 this year. I am honoured to recognize the women who represent this cycling group in the riding of Red River North.
