This fall I had the honour of delivering remarks at NATO on Arctic security — representing Canada’s position on sovereignty, […]

Churchill–Keewatinook Aski is a riding of 73 communities. Showing up means showing up everywhere. While I walked in Winnipeg on September 30th, our constituency office was right where it needed to be — in Thompson — representing this office at MKO’s Every Child Matters Memorial Drive at the Thompson Train Station.

One of the most meaningful ways I can serve this riding is simply this: sitting down, listening, and building the relationships that turn priorities into action. This fall I had the privilege of hosting Fox Lake Cree Nation leadership — Chief Morris Beardy and Council — for dinner in Ottawa. It was an opportunity to […]

On Friday, September 18th, Thompson’s brand new airport terminal opened its doors to the public — and the North got a gateway worthy of its ambition. The new 44,000-square-foot terminal replaces the older 14,000-square-foot facility — more than tripling the size of what travellers, northern residents, and communities have been working with for decades. This […]
