Trail Talking

As we embark on the year 2021, I hope this year will bring blessings of success, happiness and fulfillment for you and your family.

This holiday season was different than years past, but I hope that you were still able to find some joy and reason to celebrate. Our government was proud to fund programming under the Safe at Home Manitoba grant to provide people who stayed home during the holiday season with creative cultural, artistic and fitness activities delivered by local Manitoba businesses in our own homes. I was pleased to enjoy this programming and spend extra quality time with my family over the holidays.

As your local MLA, I have greatly missed being out-and-about in the constituency and interacting with all of you. While Zoom and FaceTime are wonderful tools that have been incredibly useful during these times, nothing will compare to having face-to-face conversations with my constituents about what matter most to you and your family.

I am proud to share that Manitobans have already started to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. In December, our province received a very limited supply of the vaccination from the federal government. Since receiving that supply, we have began implementing our immunization plan by offering the vaccine to those most vulnerable including those working in our healthcare system, seniors and Indigenous peoples. The federal government has provided assurance that enough doses of the vaccine will be available to every Manitoban who wants a vaccination. Until then, I encourage everyone to remain vigilant and to continue following the public health fundamentals to help fight the spread of this virus and save lives.
