Thanks for sharing this Mr. Gibbs. I was shown many letters like that from my father during my time as MPP. He set a wonderful example for others including me to follow.

As 2025 wraps up, I’m reflecting on the incredible dedication of RCMP employees across the country and abroad, and my heartfelt thanks go out to all those who serve.

Extending best wishes to everyone for a safe and healthy new year.

Our Canadian firmament is a little dimmer today with the loss of this brilliant star. Ken was widely respected for his gifted, principled, genuine approach to hockey, public service and everything he did in life. Our love to Lynda and their family. #RIP💔 https://t.co/nI0VfikXkm

RIP Ken Dryden (1947–2025)

One of the most important figures of the modern era — Hall of Fame goaltender, best-selling author, and a true leader of the game.

To Bruins fans, Dryden will forever be remembered as the brick wall who stood in the way of Stanley Cup dreams in 1971, 1977, 1978, and 1979.

Ironically, his journey began with the Black and Gold — drafted 14th overall by Boston in 1964, then traded to Montreal just two weeks later.

More than a goalie, Dryden was the game’s great voice — always professional, always articulate, and able to capture the soul of hockey better than anyone.

A giant on and off the ice.

1/3 Ken Dryden told me he fell in love with Ann Murray’s rendition of “Out on the Mira” when it was played during his recovery from a surgery . On a trip to CB , he asked me to take him to Marion Bridge . He stood on the wharf taking it all in .Quiet contemplative moments .

C’est avec une grande tristesse que j’ai appris le décès de l’hon. Ken Dryden, légende du hockey canadien, membre du Temple de la renommée, homme au service de l’État et source d’inspiration. Il a remporté six fois la Coupe Stanley, cinq fois le trophée Vézina et a été un ministre du Développement social et un parlementaire dévoué.

C'est grâce à Ken Dryden que je suis devenu gardien de but, même si je n'ai jamais réussi à maîtriser son talent pour s'appuyer sur son bâton, et encore moins pour empêcher la rondelle d'entrer dans le filet.

Son retour à l'université au moment où il était au sommet de sa carrière sportive nous a enseigné l'importance de l'équilibre dans la vie. Sa carrière après le hockey a démontré l’importance du service public.

Rares sont les Canadiens qui ont tant donné, ou qui se sont autant distingués, pour notre pays.

Ken Dryden incarnait le Canada dans toute sa grandeur. Il incarnait aussi le Canada dans ce qu’il a de mieux à offrir. Qu’il repose en paix.

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

Husband, Father, Grandfather, NHL goaltender, hockey commentator, President of the Toronto Maple Leafs, politician, lawyer, author, and philanthropist.

Ken’s hockey career was nothing short of remarkable. As a goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens from 1971 to 1979, he won six Stanley Cups and earned the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year in 1972. He was awarded the Vezina Trophy five times, played in multiple NHL All-Star Games, and was known for his calm, commanding style in the net. His memorable stance — leaning on his stick during play stoppages — became iconic. He also backstopped Team Canada in the legendary 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, further cementing his place in hockey history.

The puck did not stop only at hockey in Ken’s journey. He continued in many arenas - Ken was an Officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. From 2004 to 2011, he served as a Liberal Member of Parliament, including as Minister of Social Development from 2004 to 2006. In 2017, the NHL named him one of the 100 Greatest Players in its history, and in 2020, he received the Order of Hockey in Canada. Most recently, in 2025, he was honoured with the NHL Alumni Keith Magnuson Man of the Year Award alongside his 1972 Team Canada teammates — a fitting recognition of his lifelong contributions to the game and his community.

Beyond his many public achievements, Ken’s proudest roles were those within his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Lynda, and their children, Sarah and Michael. His connection to his grandchildren was one of the most cherished parts of his life, and he found great joy in watching them play hockey.

The NHL Alumni Family will miss him dearly, cherish the memories and legacy that Ken has left, and hold him forever in our hearts. Our love and prayers are with his wife Lynda, his children Sarah and Michael, and their families at this very difficult time.

Our ports of entry are essential not only for trade and commerce but for keeping illegal products, guns, and drugs out of our country. Through Bill C-2 we’re strengthening our borders by making it easier for officers to examine shipments crossing our border.

[Ruby Sahota @rubysahotalib]

Hearing from the men and women who serve our communities is extremely important. They have great recommendations and I’m honoured to be able to work with these hero’s in our communities to get them the tools and resources they need to keep Canadians safe.

Thinking tonight of a great friend and colleague from Saskatchewan, John Embury, who has just passed away - far too soon. John was an incisive thinker and masterful communicator with a wicked wit and delightful personality. We’ll miss him deeply. Lots of love to Marjo & family.💔
