🦃 Happy Thanksgiving #Lanark #Frontenac 🍁🇨🇦

🚜 So honoured to attend Lanark Federation of Agriculture’s Hall of Fame Gala Thursday evening to celebrate amazing members of the community & inductees. We are so very grateful for our farmers & all the food they produce. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🇨🇦 #Lanark #Frontenac

#Lanark #Frontenac is full of small towns with big character & Battersea is one of them. The Pumpkin Festival this past weekend was an amazing event & one you won’t want to miss next year! Congrats to all the volunteers & organizers!

The cost of train travel has to come down! This would allow communities in between to better access the service & then 70% wouldn’t ask to skip those in the middle. The environment & rural Canada deserves better! Thanks @markgerretsen.bsky.social for standing up for us! #Lanark #Frontenac

Almonte & Perth Orange Shirt Day Ceremony

Almonte #TruthAndReconciliation through Art

🌙 As the moon shines bright at the end of this day of #TruthAndReconciliation, I am left contemplating the many rich conversations I had from Carleton Place to Almonte to Perth. We do not walk this path alone, but we must each find our own meaning & always honour the truth. 🪶

🚒 Yesterday I had a great chat with a Lanark Highlands Fire Service volunteer about recruitment. Younger volunteers are always needed, so if you know of anyone who might be interested, have them check out 👉www.lanarkhighlands.ca/lh-residents/emergency-services-alias/fire-services#top & apply!

From the McDonald’s Corners Ag Fair today!

🌾🍁🐄🍂 🚜 McDonald’s Corners Agricultural Fair was the place to be today! The theme….Women in Agriculture - love it! ❤️🙋‍♀️ #Lanark #Frontenac

Great to join the Frontenac Federation of Agriculture AGM Thursday evening. Farmers & the land they work support our communities in so many ways. It was great to hear about their programs, advocacy & concerns. When we show up & listen, we learn! #Frontenac #Lanark

Today’s Open House for The Hospice Hub Day Hospice Program in Smiths Falls was over flowing. These programs are so needed in rural communities & so greatly appreciated! Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers! To connect, support or donate 👉 www.thehospicehub.ca

Stopped by Algonquin Campus in Perth to see how those on the line were doing. Every job matters & rural communities feel the losses deeply. Keeping education accessible means support for workers & fighting to keep our institutions close to home. #saveourcampus #Lanark #Frontenac

Happy first day of Fall! 🍂🍁 Love the smell of apples 🍎 cooking, but it seems the mice have come in early - seen any @wadeleonard.bsky.social?

🌙 Perth Night Market Saturday evening was impressive! So many wonderful artisans & merchants with amazing performers like Matt Dickson. Had some great conversations too while strolling along. So nice to be part of a great Canadian 🇨🇦 community! ❤️

Beautiful day at Beckwith Heritage Festival! #Lanark sure impressed! So many great vendors & The Bowes Brothers were awesome 🎸(really enjoyed our chat John). Super to talk with the Carleton Place Fire Department & Leann of Thompsontown Maple Products + so many others. When we listen we learn! 🇨🇦❤️

Carleton Place Ukrainian Festival was spectacular today! Great food, wonderful music & dancing in support of an amazing community. We were honoured to attend & connect with so many dear friends. Thanks for the dance Olga Ialovenko😊 Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦 🇨🇦

Honoured to present 70th FHG-USMC Anniversary coins to the St. Lawrence Parks Commission at Fort Henry last Thurs with my dear friend & Fort Henry Guard Club of Canada co-director John Grenville. The Guard-Marine exchanges, a unique international relationship, reminds us old friendships can endure.

Just a reminder about the Ukrainian Festival in Carleton Place this Saturday (details below) - it's a wonderful event! Wade & I will be attending & would love to see you there.🇺🇦🇨🇦 #Lanark #Frontenac

Photo of Prime Minister Carney at a podium overlaid with a CBC headline that reads: Carney pledges $370M in incentives for canola sector in wake of Chinese tariff

Canadian canola producers have been hit hard by Chinese tariffs. So we’re stepping in with major investments to help them, as well as other agricultural industries, to diversify their markets and products for a stronger, more resilient future.

🚜What a great day for the Frontenac County Plowing Match! We really enjoyed talking with residents, listening to the great Chris Murphy & spending time with members of the agricultural community. Thanks to Adam Knapp for hosting. Farmers feed families & when we listen, we learn! #Frontenac #Lanark

The first stop for Pierre on his way back to Ottawa should be at CSIS to apply for his security clearance.

He has a month before the House resumes to take care of this. Will he?

Some very nice furrows today at the Lanark County Plowing match held at Paul & Cory Thompson’s Beachgrove Farms. Was great to check in & see how people were doing. Good to speak with Angela of Cheesemaster’s Cottage Fiber Arts & some folks with the Plowmen’s Association. #Lanark
