ON THE HILL
These past two weeks have kept me very busy in Saskatoon, as I get ready to head to Ottawa for the fall session of Parliament. I have been able to meet with many important stakeholders in the community at events such as the Saskatoon Tourism Round Table, Ignite Your Night, Saskatchewan's Top 100 Companies of 2016 and a tour of the PotashCorp Mine in Allan, Saskatchewan. I was also able to get out and about in the community at the Wildwood Community Association the Huskie's Home Opener to Support the Troops, and other community events. It is important to me to meet with those that impact our riding in the business community as well as individuals who live in Saskatoon-Grasswood, so I can best represent our riding in the federal government.

Thank you for the many opportunities to experience our riding. I have met many individuals in our riding and have learned a lot about the community of Saskatoon-Grasswood and our province as a whole.

As always, please feel free to stop by my office in Saskatoon (or Ottawa if you are visiting), or visit my website and social media pages, which can be found at the end of this newsletter.
