Went and got my flu shot this week! The flu vaccine is available to everyone aged 6 months and older. You can make an appointment to receive the vaccine with your health care provider, at a walk-in clinic, or at a participating pharmacy. To learn more go to phsd.ca

January marks Crime Stoppers Month! I was glad to be able to connect with many of the groups working to make our neighbourhoods safer, and to hear directly from law enfocement and constituents about how we can enhace public safety, prevent crime, and support the community.

We wrote to the Minister of Health this week about the impact that the closing of the LifeLabs laboratory would have on our community.

We are greatly concerned about the closure of the the LifeLabs laboratory here in Sudbury. We continue to urge the Premier and Minister of Health to intervene so Sudbury’s LifeLabs laboratory does not shutter this spring as planned.

The next few days are going to fun! Giulia, my *amazing* OLIP Intern, will be in town to experience Sudbury firsthand and in person! I’ll keep you posted! 😉

Morning Sudbury! If you haven’t been outside yet. It’s currently raining - turning to sleet. School buses are cancelled. If you haven’t to go out, please give yourself extra time, drive with caution, and be kind to others! #SudburySnowDay

Happy New Year!! Wishing everyone a glorious 2026, and much love and hapiness for the year ahead.

This week was my 200th plasma donation! Donating plasma has always been a regular part of my routine, but it felt a little extra special to wrap up 2025 hitting this milestone. If you've ever thought about donating plasma, please go to blood.ca to learn more- it's in you to give! ❤️ 🩸

A must see for out of town friends! France and I had a great time stopping by the Big Nickel with Marit when she was in Sudbruy. Just a few laughs were had as you can see :)

Merry Christmas, everyone!! Wishing you a magical day with your loved ones <3

Important conversations at our labour roundtable. Glad to have our Leader Marit Stiles join us, to hear directly from workers in Northern Ontario. We will continue to stand with our workers, and to fight for safer jobs, stronger public services, and greater stability in these uncertain times.

Great afternoon touring the LiUNA Local 493 training center! The center does incredible work training our northern workers, and they're always ready and looking for people who want a job with better pay, benefits and a pension. They pride themselves on professional training- "show up and pro up"!

Pure Country 91.7 annual diaper drive is on NOW! Donations can be dropped off at any Shopper Drug Mart, and this afternoon (Dec 8th) they will be set up at the New Sudbury Centre parking lot! Come by and show your support for the Pregnancy Care Centre & Infant Food Bank.

Marit is coming back to Sudbury! On December 16th, we will be gathering at the Laughing Buddha on Elgin St. for a spcial meet and greet in support of the Edgar Burton Food Drive. Please come out and meet Marit, and bring your non-perishable food item with you! www.ontariondp.ca/one-more-can...

Our team has created these lovely activity posters for kids (or adults with creative holiday spirit!). If you would like one to post in your window to reminder Santa to stop at your home, please come by our office to pick one up or give our team a call.

Make your voice heard, Sudbury! The deadline to make a submission on the Ontario Government's budget is January 12th. If you have any questions about the submisson process, please reach out to my office.

The Ford government is still more than 100,000 housing starts short of its target for new homes in 2025. That is unacceptable. We need to build affordable homes and invest in affordable housing in Ontario!

Happiest Birthday boss!! 🎂 🎉

Some days it's extra special to be a Steelworker! Always fantastic to have my brothers in town and get to join them at the OFL and show them around Queen's Park.

Today, Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles got kicked out of the legislature for calling it like it is. Enough is enough! I followed Marit out, and will stand with all of you, and all of my colleagues until this Government is held to account. If you agree with Marit, sign here: iagreewithmaritstiles.ca

Today, our Ontario NDP caucus wore red to stand with education workers, students, and teachers fighting to protect our schools from Bill 33- a bill that replaces elected trustees with Conservative friends and cut the supports kids rely on. Tell your MPP to vote NO on Bill 33!

Join us tomorrow at The People's Forum! Doug Ford might not want to hear from the people of Ontario, but we do. RSVP at OntarioNDP.ca/events

Rally for healthcare! In North Bay, 40 frontline healthcare workers have recieved their layoff notice. Why? Because instead of the 4% the Ontario Hopsital Association needs to maintain current levels (which already need to be improved), Doug Ford is giving them 0.7% 🤯

What a heartwarming evening we had this week, celebrating Sudbury's Good Neighbours! 🙂 Every year I recognize notable Sudburians for their selflessness, tenacity, excellence and commitment to our community. A big congratulations to everyone! Merci et bravo à tous !

📻 TUNE IN TONIGHT, as I have the pleasure of recognizing some Incredible Individuals during my annual #Sudbury Good Neighbour Awards ceremony. We'll be going live around 5:30 p.m on my Facebook page! 🧡

Families want stability and a fair shot at getting ahead! We need to make it easier for Ontarians to afford a home, keep their job, and pay for their grocceries.

The problem is not with the Skills Development fund; it's with a government that consistently disregards taxpayer money and continuously sidesteps questions about their responsibility.

Hold our calls. We’ve got winning to do!🇨🇦 #bluejaysbaseball 🧢

Congratulations to Vale Base Metals on their provincial funding which will go to advance a refining process used in nickel production at its Copper Cliff refinery.

Mining in Ontario requires consultation and partnership, it requires working WITH First Nations and Treaty Rights Holders. It concerns me that Minister Lecce would not share their estimated budget for the important work that needs to be done by the Indigenous Consultation and Partnership Branch.

In 2018 Ford promised he wouldn't touch rent control. He lied. Now he has the audacity to blame renters for his failure to build housing and make life affordable Ontarians. Bill 60 will accelerate the rate of homelessness, and blames renters for the Landlord Tenant Board that he broke.

Premier Ford is a jobs disaster. Telecommunications workers from USW1944 are going to lose their jobs Friday when Rogers/Ericsson offshores their work. The workers reached out to Ford for help, and haven't recieved a single response. The Premier needs to protect good Ontario jobs- it's time to act!

💀 I hope everyone has a fun Halloween week! 👻 J'espère que tout le monde passera une bonne semaine d'Halloween ! 🎃

Grand opening of MIRARCO's new facility! With Mirarco, we’re going to use microorganisms to separate cobalt and nickel from tailings, a huge step forward for mining innovation: a smaller footprint of waste product & potential for that waste product to be utilized as building materials or sand fill!

I hope everyone celebrating has a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families. A friendly reminder that my office is closed today and will reopen tomorrow at 9am. J'espère que tous ceux qui célèbrent passeront une merveilleuse Action de grâces. Un petit rappel que mon bureau est fermé aujourd'hui.

Hope your long weekend is being spent with your favourite people! ❤️

The community wants to see Cecil Facer stay open as a youth detention centre. Its important for their wellbeing and rehabilitation. France Gélinas and I have echoed your concerns and written to the Ministers about this! We will let you know how they respond. 👇
