By the time you read my column, the Bike Ride for the “together we can” campaign to replace the mammography machine at LaVerendrye Hospital will have been completed. But the campaign to raise funds for the new machine will only have been kicked off. Just as previous campaigns to modernize the hospitals in the district and bring a CT Scanner to the district took many months, this campaign still requires the financial support of everyone in the district.

This week presents another opportunity to share some of the hard work of the New Democrat caucus research team who are always busy discovering new and interesting things about our federal government and our party.

It is Labour Day Weekend. The moon, almost still full lit the lake Sunday evening. A fire burned across the Lake at Gasperinis cabin. A small light shone from the Tibbs’ Cabin. A bright light lit the cabin across the way on Nowhere Island.
Phil Bangert had arrived at the island shortly after lunch. He was spending the evening with us, and headed north to Sioux Narrows before daybreak. There was just enough light across the lake to make your way. He will be fishing in the Sioux Narrows Bassin for Bucks tournament this coming weekend.
