Thank you to @AlexRuff17, MP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, for presenting a commemorative plaque recognizing Bruce Power's 25 years of powering Ontario, creating opportunities and supporting our communities.
We're proud to celebrate this milestone and the partnerships, progress and community impact that have defined our first 25 years.

Congrats to the Owen Sound Pickleball Club on their grand opening! Not sure who has the footage but Naomi & I even got a chance to try pickleball out. What a lot of fun & the “old” guy can still hold his own vs the teenager!

Incredible support today for the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb organized by Chatsworth Fire in support of @cmhagb. Thousands of $ raised by first responders & participants from across Bruce Grey+. #ThankYou for your #service, #sacrifice & #dedication to our #community.
25 years ago, 2,974 lives and families were changed forever. The attacks profoundly impacted Canada, taking the lives of 24 Canadians and resulting in our 12 year operations in Afghanistan where 158 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice and thousands were injured as a result of their service.
In the years since, September 11th has formally become Canada’s National Day of Service, and the Provincial Day of Service in the province of Ontario — meant to remember the courage and compassion in the aftermath of 9/11 and rekindle the spirit of kindness and goodwill that unified our country best exhibited by our friends in Gander, Newfoundland.
We will never forget.
It’s Fall Fair time across #BruceGreyOwenSound. My thx to all the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS), organizers, volunteers, farmers, producers, sponsors and our communities that make these fairs possible. #ThankYou #community

Entrepreneurship is declining in Canada, and that should concern us all.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs drive innovation, create jobs, and strengthen our local communities. Canada needs policies that make it easier to start, grow, and invest in a business.
The Liberals need to restore investor confidence, cut red tape, and make Canada a place where entrepreneurs can succeed and businesses can thrive.
#BruceGreyOwenSound thanks to all the entrepreneurs, small business owners, Chambers of Commerce, farmers and more that attended the economic roundtable yesterday. Summary to follow next week. @ScottDunnST owensoundsuntimes.com/news/c…
A number of #BruceGreyOwenSound residents celebrated some impressive milestones recently: Evelyn Beacock 100th birthday, Emily McLean (my aunt & godmother) 88th birthday, Louise Sweiger 70th birthday and Terry & Sandra Brown 60th wedding anniversary. Congrats & best wishes!

It’s time for a buddy check.
I recently had a call from a buddy of mine that also served in the military and he’s going through a rough time. Veterans across Canada are dealing with challenges big and small.
Whether you’re making a call or taking a call, staying connected to friends and former colleagues helps those going through difficult times.
Let’s have each others backs. Let’s look out for each other.
Have a great rest of the summer everyone.

❌ We can't afford to lose a single job in Newmarket–Aurora because we didn't fight hard enough to keep it here during this tariff dispute.
I would rather fight like hell to keep a job here today than spend the next ten years trying to bring it back.
If your business is being hurt by this tariff dispute or you are worried about your job, 🚨I want to hear from you.🚨
I want to make sure that you are getting every bit of support that's currently available, and I want to make sure that I am taking what you're experiencing directly to the House of Commons.
So the decisions the government makes reflect your lived experiences.
