Dear Timberlea-Prospect Residents,
As we enter November and the temperatures drop, we need to be extra focused on the growing number of homeless people in the province. It is one of the main focuses of our caucus, along with affordability in general, as we continue with questioning in the Fall legislative session.
There are many issues facing the province, from the increasingly long wait-times at the emergency rooms, to power bills going up again in January, to not being able to find a space for childcare in the local community.
I have tabled several private member bills that would lower power bills for low to moderate income families, provide support to childcare workers and speed up the electrification of transportation sector with more charging stations and electric school buses.
On a local level, we have an exciting time ahead! The Bayers Lake Outpatient I helped announce in 2017 is opening, on November 20th. The BLT community centre rebuild will go to tender, finally I am told any day now, for construction during the 2024 year. These are two very impactful projects for generations to come, right here in Timberlea-Prospect.
I appreciate the feedback and I hope to see folks at one of the local Remembrance Day ceremonies this weekend.
