There are several items that I’d like to raise your awareness about this week, and they are: the details of our fast approaching townhall meetings, the Parliamentary Page Program and application deadline, and the extension of the 2010 calendar contest for our riding.

A golden blanket of Birch leaves now hides my green grass. They seemed to suddenly choose to fall from the trees on the weekend.
