Invited Agriculture Minister Heath McDonald to Martin's Farms. Touring the orchards and visiting the processing plant showcases how the agriculture sector in Kitchener-Conestoga feeds families.

We’re extending the fuel tax suspension to help keep costs down for Canadians. More relief at the pump and lower operating costs for businesses and truckers.

Housing works best when it is paired with the supports people need to thrive. It was a pleasure to tour Friendship Village and hear about House of Friendship’s plans to create up to 230 affordable and supportive homes in downtown Kitchener. Thank you to everyone involved for their commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive community.

The safety of Canadians abroad is important. If you or someone you know is currently in Nepal or China-Tibet, the Emergency Watch and Response Centre is available 24/7 for emergency consular assistance. Please save or share this post for anyone who may need assistance in Nepal or the China-Tibet region.

From farm fields to the future of food production, I enjoyed learning more about Upside Robotics' agricultural technology and its potential to support Canadian farmers, as innovation continues to grow in our fields. Their robot "spoon-feeds" nutrients to corn plants 24/7, delivering smaller, targeted applications that can reduce nitrogen use while improving yields and return on investment. It was great to hear more from Bender Brook Farms and Upside Robotics about the results they're seeing and the potential for this community's innovation as it grows and shapes Canadian agriculture.

It was great to visit True North Tropic Farms with Minister Rechie Valdez to learn more about their mission to bring fresh, flavourful food to our communities. Supporting small local farms means we are supporting our neighbours, our local economy and the future of agriculture. Thank you to the team at True North Tropic Farms for hosting us and everything you do to support and keep our community well fed.

Yesterday, I joined the TELUS team in a Kitchener neighbourhood to see firsthand how fibre-optic cable is being installed directly to local homes. This significant private-sector investment will expand access to fast, reliable Internet infrastructure, supporting residents, businesses and Kitchener's growing digital economy. Thank you to the crew for taking us behind the scenes and explaining the work happening beneath our feet.

Today, I was proud to announce $156,000 in federal funding for J.M. Drama Alumni, on behalf of the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages. This investment will help J.M. Drama Alumni continue bringing people together through the arts and enriching our local cultural community. Congratulations to the J.M. Drama Alumni team, and thank you for helping make Kitchener-Conestoga and the Waterloo Region a vibrant place to live, create, and connect!

Last night was the kick-off for the Kitchener Blues Fest! Festivals like this mean so much to me as an artist myself, knowing all of the hard work that goes into every aspect of these performances. What an awesome opportunity for these artists to step on stage and build a special connection with the audience that we will all remember. Don't worry if you missed last nights performances... there are more to come all weekend with over 35 amazing artists. Whether you're a first time listener, or a life-long fan, I hope you enjoy these performances and make lasting memories with friends and family.

The Ontario Summer Games may have come to an end, but Ewan's work has not. Meeting this inspirational young man has left me with a feeling of hope and empowerment. Seeing how far he has come at such a young age is truly incredible. We wish you luck on your journey Ewan, and I am honoured to have met such a young community champion.

We announced $40.5 million in FedDev Ontario support funding that will help support 23 organizations across the Waterloo Region. This investment will help strengthen local industries, drive innovation, and create new opportunities and growth in Kitchener-Conestoga.

Go Canada Go! Kitchener Market Piazza is filled with fans and Canadian pride for the Canada vs Switzerland FIFA World Cup game!

I congratulated Mr. Martin Buhr today, who is 87 years young and will be riding in the Out-Spok’n bike-a-thon tomorrow! Over the past years, he has raised over $387,000! Funds raised will go to affordable housing, including a planned 30‑unit accessible apartment building in Elmira. @BeyondHousingWR @Woolwichupdates

As Parliamentary Secretary for Interprovincial Trade, I met with Wine Growers Canada and discussed priorities that will help the sector grow and compete.   We focused on addressing interprovincial barriers and making it easier for Canadians to access and enjoy great wines from across our country.   A key step is advancing harmonized direct-to-consumer shipping, so wineries can reach more Canadians and people can enjoy Canadian wines nationwide.

Congratulations to the 2026 Kitchener Rangers Memorial Cup champions

Honoured to address the Armenian Genocide Commemoration in Cambridge. I’m deeply grateful to the Armenian National Committee of Southwestern Ontario and community leaders for their leadership, and for standing together in remembrance, solidarity, and the pursuit of truth and justice.

Starting April 20th, Canada’s new government will suspend the full amount of tax on gasoline and diesel. Cutting the tax will reduce fuel costs for Canadians and business, including food, agriculture, housing, and delivery sectors.

Thank you to all the volunteers and organizers of the 62nd Elmira Maple Syrup Festival for their hard work and hospitality, welcoming thousands of people to take part in the world’s largest one-day maple syrup festival.

It was a privilege celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. Thank you to the community for the warm invitation and hospitality. It was inspiring to see such a large, vibrant gathering come together in the spirit of gratitude, joy, and renewal. I was grateful for the chance to stay and share a meal as well; a meaningful way to connect more with the community. Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating!
