I stopped by the Skilled Trades Fair happening in #Sudbury & had a good conversation with the Regional Manager for STO Northwestern ON, regarding my request for more Skilled Trades testing centres. They heard us, and they are working hard to open monthly testing centres across Northern Ontario!

What an incredible meeting learning more about Spirit North ! This charitable organization collaborates with indigenous communities and schools, to provide land-based sport and play activities for youth, for free! They're all about health, education & community. Check them out to learn more. 🙂

This morning I met an impressive group of #Sudbury students who are on the Sn❄️Bots team, who recently won the prestigious FIRA Robot World Cup, bringing an international championship title in advanced technology, to the community. Congratulations on this well earned victory!

I was happy to bring provincial remarks to the Sudbury Multicultural and Folk Arts Association Annual General Meeting. This is a great opportunity to have conversations with people who have chosen Greater Sudbury as their home!

You ever notice how the Sudbury Walk for Down Syndrome Awareness seems to get better and better every year?

It’s more than a celebration of friends *and* family. It’s a celebration of community and inclusion - where friends *are* family!

This year’s Women of Distinction are: Angela, Bela, Daniela, Sherry, Sarra, Andréa, and the team of women at Junessence (Gisèle, Morgan & Zana).

Thank-you for making Sudbury greater!

Following Sudbury’s Cadets Week flag-raising at City Hall (TDS), I learned that the young man, scheduled to raise the flag, privately told their captain: “2025 marks 50 years of having young women in cadets. I think the person raising this flag today should be a woman.”

I want to thank all the Project X Wrestling fans for always being such an amazing crowd! It makes my job as guest Ring Announcer so much fun, and it gets all the wrestlers pumped up so that they perform at their best!

Energy Security Is Sovereignty — And Nuclear Is Canada’s Advantage | Perspectives Journal Together, Saskatchewan and Ontario form a powerful made-in-Canada energy supply chain that produces non-emitting and reliable electricity to meet the country’s energy needs.

An insightful article written by my colleague MPP Catherine Fife and Saskachewan MLA Erika Ritchie about energy security. Worth the read!

Come chat with my office at the Healthy Aging Fair this morning, located at the Caruso Club - Società Caruso in #Sudbury! We'd love your feedback on the Seniors Guide we're putting together. 😊

Venez discuter avec mon équipe ce matin à la Foire du vieillissement en santé, au Caruso Club !

Today serves as a day of reflection & commemoration for the painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools on survivors, their families, and communities. I encourage everyone to engage in meaningful discussions about reconciliation and put it into practice for a more equitable future.

Congratulations to @Urbanwindowsanddoors as they celebrate their remarkable milestone of entering their 20th year of dedicated service to the Greater Sudbury community.

Leo Gerard was a giant of the labour movement. From Sudbury to the world, he fought for fairness, dignity, and justice. My condolences to Susan, his family, and union siblings everywhere. His legacy will inspire generations.

A big congratulations to the Sudbury Workers Education & Advocacy Centre on their 12th anniversary ! They provide essential services to vulnerable workers in our community, and it has been a privilege to watch the organization grow all these years. Cheers to many more! 🎉

I was happy my staff could attend the #Sudbury rally with OPSEU today, as I'm in Niagara for the ONDP Convention. They had lots of support! #solidarité

This Sept marks the first official Ukrainian Heritage Month in Ontario! It's a time to celebrate & learn about the rich culture, traditions, and contributions of Ukrainians. Let’s honour their history, celebrate their achievements, and stand with them as they continue their brave fight for freedom.

I want to thank Society of United Professionals Union President Rebecca Caron for arranging a NDP Tour of Bruce Nuclear Power.

I was joined by MP Heather McPherson, former Ontario NDP MPP Taras Natyshak, and James & Raymond from ONDY.

There is an expression about fighting with one hand tied behind your back. I think of it whenever I think about Terry Fox.

Terry Fox ran a marathon.
Every day.
On one leg.

He didn’t do it for Terry.
He did it to raise money for cancer research.
He did it for others.
And inspired a nation.🇨🇦

It can be difficult to determine between information and misinformation.

That’s why I was excited to join with professors, alumni and new students at the Vale Living with Lakes Centre to celebrate Laurentian’s Science Communication program 20th anniversary.
