Trail Talking

With the legislative session wrapped up for the next few months, I am looking forward to getting out more in the Dawson Trail constituency. In the first few days of June, I had the opportunity to participate in the Ste. Anne Hospital Health Walk, which covered a four-kilometre route and raised money for the Ste. Anne Hospital.

This month, on June 13, I hosted another Coffee With Bob at the Co-op Café in Landmark. These events give me a chance to visit different areas of Dawson Trail and hear directly from constituents about their concerns, and to have a nice chat with them now and then. I thank everyone who has come to any of these gatherings in the past few years, and I hope to see some of you at this next one.

The month of June also brings graduation season. Last year, I had the chance to attend graduation ceremonies for high schools throughout the Dawson Trail area. While there, I presented awards to some of the very impressive graduates, and will do so again this month. The graduating students have bright futures and with these ceremonies, they make the transition from one important chapter of their lives to another. I wish every one of them all the best as they pursue their dreams.

Of course, once June rolls around, Dawson Trail comes alive with the summertime spirit. The Dawson Trail Farmers Market will officially open this month, and I’m looking forward to seeing all of its lovely offerings. I’m also excited about what’s happening in our area later in the summer, including the Richer Rodeo and the Landmark Friendship Festival – both in August. I had a great time taking part in the parade and other activities last year, so I hope to do that again.

The warm weather has arrived. Dawson Trail has these and so many other great things to see and do in the summer months. It’s time to get out there and enjoy them.
