Dartmouth deserves special community spaces like the new Kiwanis Grahams Grove Community Building. Over the weekend we cut the ribbon and celebrated the Grand Opening of this amazing place!

Good morning and happy Father’s Day! I was awake early this morning and thinking about Father’s Day…as my family sleeps. I was thinking how fortunate I am to have two great kids, who are actually not kids anymore but actual adult humans! How did that happen?

So great to catch up with BGC staff and kids to reinforce just how special these places, programs, [...]
Last week in the House of Commons, we honoured the 2-3 million Canadians living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). More research and awareness of this complex chronic illness is needed!

I truly appreciate our conversations and I hope [...]
