JANUARY 2010
Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to my first 2010 electronic newsletter. The tragedy in Haiti following the earthquake remains an urgent priority for Canada and the world. I commend the generosity of so many area residents and organizations who have donated to relief agenices or organized fundraising events. Meanwhile, even though Parliament is prorogued, I have been busy, attending riding events and meetings -- including earlier this month the Sault Arts Council Politics and the Arts, the Aboriginal HST forum at the Batchewana Band Learning Centre and the annual meeting of the Algoma Cattlemen's Association. Here is a report of my current work on behalf of the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma. Read More ...

Welcome to the second issue of my electronic newsletter where I will continue to share highlights of my work on your behalf in Parliament and in our community. I've often said in Ottawa that the riding of Sult Se.

In this newsletter I share highlights of my work on behalf of the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie and its immediate areas as well as news on new resources for rural povery, grants for seniors' programs and a few community events some have told us about.

Community Newsletter Fall 2009
Dear friends,
I am happy to report in this fall newsletter on the hard work and results of our much larger Northern Ontario New Democrat caucus. We report on federal funding to the riding, making FedNor independent, rail infrastructure investment, helping the forestry sector and much more.
I hope everyone was able to enjoy the summer. I don’t think there is a better place to be in Canada in the summer than Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma. It was good to be home and work out of the riding office and see many of you at our various festivals and community celebrations.
