Celebrating our grads, carrying their spirit into summer

As the school year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible spirit of our community’s young people.
This graduation season, I had the absolute privilege of attending the St. James Assiniboia School Division’s graduation powwow and ceremony, and am looking forward to attending graduation ceremonies at the Manitoba School for the Deaf, Collège Sturgeon Heights Collegiate, and John Taylor Collegiate. Attending these celebrations allows me to witness the immense pride of the graduates, their families, teachers, and friends as they mark this significant milestone in their lives. Our students are not just preparing for their own future; they’re ready to lift up others, and their accomplishments give me enormous hope for the future of our province.
With the beautiful summer weather finally here, I hope to carry their passion and energy out into our wonderful neighbourhoods. Over the summer weeks, constituents can expect to see me and my team out on your doorsteps to hear directly from you about your concerns, ideas, and the meaningful changes you would like to see in our province. I am truly looking forward to being out in the community over the next few months and meet with you to learn about what matters most to you and your family.
One of my focuses this summer is also to bring neighbours across our community together. I am thrilled to once again host a number of community barbecues throughout Assiniboia. Everyone is welcome to join us for good food, cold drinks, and a great chat. Please come find us! We will be holding these gathering opportunities at the following times and locations:
• Tuesday, July 7 at Pat Phillips Park Playground;
• Tuesday, July 14 at Living Prairie Museum Playground;
• Tuesday, July 21 at the field just south of the Manitoba School for the Deaf; and
• Tuesday, July 28 at AWRA – Morgan site (just north of the rinks).
Please keep an eye out for further barbecues in August and September, as well as our upcoming pop-up ice cream parties, which will be announced soon via local posters and social media.
If you cannot make it to one of these events but still want to connect, my constituency office door is always open. Located at 105-3025 Portage Ave., our summer hours are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 6 p.m. You can also reach us anytime at 204-888-3188 or via email at Nellie.Kennedy@yourmanitoba.ca
I truly hope we get to connect this summer!
