The new Member of Parliament (MP) for the Churchill–Keewatinook Aski Riding, Rebecca Chartrand, visited the tri-community area for a couple of days while making a presence during the local Canada Day celebration. MP Chartrand took the opportunity to meet with many levels of local municipal government, as well as community organizations and local citizens.
“We took in Canada Day as part of my visit here to The Pas,” said MP Chartrand. “We got to meet with the Town of The Pas Mayor, some of the councillors, the R.M. of Kelsey, the president of UCN, the superintendent for Kelsey School Division, Opaskwayak Cree Nation Chief and Council, The Pas OCN Chamber of Commerce, the Minisewin Family Resource Centre, The Pas Friendship Centre, and the Manitoba Metis Federation. It was a very busy couple of days and I met so many people in the community.
