October 4, 2023 - Today, reflecting on the past nine months serving as your MLA and the four years as a City Councillor for a significant portion of this vibrant community, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and appreciation. It has been an incredible honour and privilege to represent you, and I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your trust and support.
Our journey together has been marked by dedication, resilience, and a shared commitment to making Kirkfield Park and Manitoba a better place for all. Throughout this time, I have had the privilege of meeting countless incredible individuals who are deeply passionate about our community and our province. Your unwavering spirit and determination have been a constant source of inspiration for me.
I must extend my deepest appreciation to all the volunteers who have played an integral role in our journey. Without your tireless efforts, dedication, and selflessness, I would never have come this far. Your support has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for the countless hours you have devoted to our cause.
In my life and my career, I have always been guided by a favourite quote: “It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down. What’s important is that you keep getting up and moving forward.” While the recent election results may not have gone our way, I firmly believe there is still much important work to be done in government. Our society is facing significant challenges, and it’s evident that we are too divided. I remain committed to the ideals and values that have driven me throughout my tenure, and I will continue to work tirelessly to make Manitoba better for each and every one of us.
Our community is a tapestry woven together by the diverse experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives of its residents. I have been honoured to be a part of this tapestry, and I will always carry with me the lessons and memories from our time together. Though my role may be changing, my dedication to Kirkfield Park and its residents remains steadfast.
I look forward to finding new ways to contribute to the well-being and progress of our community, and I am excited to continue working alongside you all. Together, we can overcome challenges, bridge divides, and build a brighter future for all of our city and Manitoba.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, your trust, and the opportunity to serve you. Let’s keep moving forward, working hand in hand to make our beloved community and province a better place for everyone.
With sincere gratitude and warm regards,
