Celebrating our Ptbo MP Emma Harrison, who's brought close to $227 million in federal investment to our Riding in 18 months. FOUR TIMES the amount that our last MP secured. As our Municipal elxn looms, finances are top of mind for voters. Many thanks to MP Harrison & her team.

When Albertans vote in the province’s referendum this fall, they will be asked whether people legally living and working in Alberta without permanent resident status should pay extra to use two of the province’s most important public services.
