In And Around Mississauga – December 17, 2021 Edition

Good day!

Thank you to those of you who tuned in and watched the Filipino Christmas on the Hill Event hosted by Kevin Lamoureux and myself. We had a great time hearing from talented Filipino artists from across the country, heard greetings from my honourable colleagues and our special guest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In case you missed it, you can watch it here.

Good news on the horizon! Both New Brunswick and the North West Territories have signed onto our $10-a-day child care program. This means more families will have better access to high quality, affordable, flexible, and inclusive early learning and child care programs and services.

For those of you looking for opportunities this summer, make sure to check out the Summer Leadership Program 2022 and apply for the program. Applications are now open, please visit https://slp2022ple.infolib.ca/ for more information.

This week I had started my work on two standing committees in Ottawa. I am a member of the Veterans Affairs committee and Agriculture and Agri-Food committee.
