Tuesday, May 14th is
#DayOfActionOnLitter
, and I am grateful to
@townofinnisfil
for taking action on litter today!
I was happy to honour the volunteers and participants of
#PitchInDay

Inspiring the next generation of conservationists is what
@EarthRangers
is all about.
It was great to witness Earth Rangers presentation with grades 1-6 at Steele St. Public School & meet the animal ambassadors - Finigan (🦅), Sunny (Harris Hawk) & Draco (Caiman Lizard).
Today is a sad day, as we mourn the death of Rex Murphy - a giant of serious opinion journalism, trusted by Canadians from coast to coast for his wisdom, wit, and insights into Canadian affairs.
He leaves behind many friends, a loving family, countless fans, and a great legacy.
Today, I stopped by to visit staff at the Barrie

Pleased to see my colleague
@C_Mulroney
share the good news on what our government is doing to restore the health of Lake Simcoe.
To date, we've seen a 50 per cent reduction in phosphorous entering the watershed and a reduction in algae, leading to improved water quality.
We’re protecting Lake Simcoe for future generations.
