We have many great organizations in Dawson Trail caring for people and animals.

On Dec. 13, I had the privilege to join Sustainable Development Minister Cathy Cox and Rick Wowchuk, MLA for Swan River, on a tour of the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre. With a small staff and many volunteers, the centre rehabilitates sick, orphaned and injured animals for release back into their habitats. The non-profit organization, which also runs an education program, is raising funds for the construction of an improved facility for its work.

I also met with the Ste. Anne Lions Club after attending many of its events, from the recent Santa Breakfast to this past summer’s Walk for Guide Dogs. It was great to meet the many faces that keep the area connected and to learn about their assistance to many causes. The work they do is truly invaluable to their community and is done through donations and fundraising.

I’m wishing everyone in Dawson Trail and across Manitoba all the best in 2017.
