A great day at 132nd Oak Lake Agricultural Society Fair, starting with the Parade, Children’s Pig Scramble, horse & cattle show and Slow Pitch Tournament.

Driving back from Russell to Virden, I drove by my late Grandpa and Grandma Thickett’s family farm near Binscarth. The canola fields have made the farm landscape amazing site. Now my cousin Water Thickett and his wife Arlene are now the third generation on the Thickett farm.

I was so honoured to introduce Speakers for the “The Midwest’s Transportation Edge” session; Dr. John Fuller and Dr. Joe Schwieterman. On behalf of Host Committee, I would like to thank Senator Sims of Illinois for chairing this year’s MLC meeting. @ElgieSims

Thanks to Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable Janice Filmon and Honourable Gary Filmon for hosting tonight’s dinner at Government House for the Midwestern Legislative Conference: US/Canada Relations Committee.

Justin Trudeau doesn’t have the monopoly on good hair!

Travelling throughout the Constituency of Arthur-Virden on this Canada Day, it was nice to reconnect with many of my constituents after an extended Spring Session in the Manitoba Legislature.
