TEACHERS HEAD BACK TO THE CLASSROOM NEXT WEEK
As our educators prepare for the upcoming school year, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for all they do. Education is one of the most important pillars of society, and our teacher's dedication to shaping young minds is nothing short of inspiring.
As I have been out meeting people at events and on doorsteps of the Willowgrove Constituents, I have heard and agree with so many that teacher's hard work, patience, and passion have a lasting impact on the lives of their children. I have also heard the excitement about the 4 new schools planned for our constituency that will address overcrowding.
The efforts of our teachers to guide, nurture, and educate their students are deeply appreciated. A very special thank you for each and every educator for their commitment to fostering a love of learning and helping students reach their full potential.
To our teachers, I wish you all the best as you embark on another year of teaching and growth. Your work matters, and I am grateful for your unwavering dedication to education.
AN EXCELLENT MEETING WITH A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE
I am so pleased to meet with groups in our great city. Last week I enjoyed an excellent meeting with a respected group to hear their thoughts, ideas and views on trade possibilities between Saskatchewan and China. It is an pleasure to learn and hear perspectives on issues that matter. I look forward to taking their ideas to my colleagues in the legislature.
I am honoured to serve as a Member of the Legislative Assembly and will continue to work hard to serve you and be a strong voice for the constituents of Saskatoon Willowgrove.
Your phone calls, letters, and emails make a big difference in keeping me informed on the issues that matter to you.

SASKATCHEWAN INFLATION RATE REMAINS LOWEST AMONG THE PROVINCES
Carbon Tax Removal Keeps Life More Affordable for Saskatchewan Residents
The most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers indicate that in July 2024, Saskatchewan's CPI saw an increase of just 1.6 per cent over July 2023. This is the lowest year-over-year inflation increase among the provinces.
"Our government will continue to stand up for Saskatchewan by opposing the Trudeau/NDP coalition carbon tax by refusing to collect and remit the tax on home heating," Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "This coupled with Saskatchewan's strong affordability measures has led to the lowest inflation rate in Canada, making our province a great place to live, work and raise a family.
"The affordability measures the Government of Saskatchewan have put in place are working to keep the inflation rate low. However, we are deeply concerned that a rail service disruption - even a minor one - could cause delays, lead to a potential loss of contracts, shutdowns, and reduced revenues, which would drive costs up. The Government of Saskatchewan urges the Government of Canada to actively facilitate a fair resolution to the dispute while exerting all legal and policy pressures to prevent a work stoppage in this essential industry."
