VOLUME 2  ISSUE 2
ON THE HILL
I have spent the past two weeks in the riding, meeting many great community members at my office as well as attending some wonderful events.  I held a constituent appreciation reception in my office last week which was a great way to get to know some constituents.  You are always welcome to stop by anytime.
I also spent some time in the community, visiting Circle Drive Place, Crossmount, the Grand Opening of Round Prairie Library, and Alvin Buckwold School.  Please scroll through the newsletter to learn more about each of these visits!
This week I also awarded the second Saskatoon Grasswood Canada 150 Citizen Award to Harold Chapman.  Harold has been a strong voice in the community's cooperative movement for 70 years, in addition to many other contributions in our community. Congratulations Harold!
I look forward to returning to Ottawa next week, to represent you in Parliament.

HAROLD E. CHAPMAN
99 year old Harold Chapman has been a leader in the co-operative movement for 7 decades.  Harold established the Co-operative College of Canada where he was the principal for 18 years.  The college was a national centre for co-operative education and research.  It was established to provide co-op business training and to teach co-op principles.  Harold recently was named to the Order of Canada for his work and leadership in the Co-operative movement.  In 2012 he published his memoir, Sharing My Life:  Building the Co-operative Movement.  Harold was also involved in the development of the Saskatoon Community Clinic as well as a key mobilizer for the Station 20 West Good Food Junction.  Thank you Harold for being a great leader in our community!
