The storm that came through Winnipeg this weekend left significant impact and we are continuing to survey the damage in River Heights and checking in with residents. We encourage those impacted to be in touch with 311 and MB Hydro and to continue taking precautionary measures as power is restored.

One of the things I love about Winnipeg South Centre is how deep the roots run. It was great connecting with so many neighbours while door knocking in the Fort Garry area where I was born.

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the Canadians we’ve lost to overdose and stand with everyone affected by substance use. We all know someone who is struggling: a loved one, friend, neighbour, or colleague. Behind every statistic is a person who matters.
