"When the path to certification is shorter, more Ontarians get in faster, communities get the skilled workers they need, and Northern Ontario gets the workforce it deserves."

Welcoming Minister @DavidPiccini to Kenora-Rainy River for two historic announcements in the skilled trades and workforce development.

1. Through Seven Generations Education Institute, Kenora is getting a new apprenticeship exam centre, and

2. ⁠Funding to support early childhood education programs.

This is more than the ability to have access to testing, this partnership with Seven Generations is providing support for future tradespeople, with a permanent testing development agency footprint right here in Kenora.

Red Dress Day ❤️

No More Stolen Sisters. Today we honour and remember the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. We hold up the families and communities who continue to carry this grief, and we stand with them in love, strength, and support.

This day is a reminder that this crisis is ongoing. We continue to call for justice, accountability, and meaningful action to ensure the safety, dignity, and respect of Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people across Treaty #3 and beyond.

We encourage everyone to take time to reflect, learn, and stand together.
