It was great to join @fordnationdougford and my @OntarioPC caucus colleagues to celebrate the first #AirportWorkersDay at Toronto Pearson International Airport! Today we recognize and thank the thousands of airport workers at Pearson and across Canada who keep us moving and make our journeys possible.

Celebrating #ItalianHeritageMonth in King-Vaughan with @Slecce at Chartwell Valley Vista.   It was incredibly special to meet with these incredible seniors who came from Italy, built a life in Ontario and helped pave the way for our province. Throughout June, we celebrate them and all they have done to build a stronger, more vibrant Ontario.

Wrapping up another successful year here at @CarrouselMCC alongside my friend and colleague, @AndrewDowieMPP . Windsor’s multicultural spirit was on full display at the Polish, German, Chinese, Indian, Korean, Persian, and Italian villages. I would like to thank all the organizers, volunteers, and community members for showcasing your culture and for helping strengthen the bonds between communities.

Next up, the Maidstone Bicentennial Museum in Essex with @anthonyleardimpp .   It was a pleasure to meet the dedicated volunteers who operate the museum, and who work to conserve and showcase the stories and artifacts that helped shape Essex for others to learn from and enjoy.

ICYMI, last week, I joined @DreamLegacyFDN , one of over 40 community organizations benefiting from our government’s $16.5M investment into the Black Youth Action Plan. This investment will help empower communities and ensure organizations like Dream Legacy have the capacity to provide even more youth and young professionals with access to the training, guidance, and mentorship needed to launch careers and maximize potential.

In February, I was proud to announce a new investment of $16.5M into the Black Youth Action Plan (BYAP).   Today, I visited @DreamLegacyFDN , one of over 40 community organizations who recently signed funding agreements which will increase capacity, helping more Black youth unlock opportunities and develop the skills needed to launch meaningful careers in high-demand sectors.

I’ve seen time and again how Uncle Rob’s legacy of putting people first has had a lasting impact on Torontonians and Canadians. The recent dedication of the Rob Ford Stadium at Etobicoke’s Centennial Park is a fitting tribute to his legacy and I am grateful to those who helped make this a reality.

I was pleased to join the Consul General of the Philippines in Toronto to celebrate 126 years of Philippine Independence.   Throughout #FilipinoHeritageMonth , we celebrate the strong ties between Ontario and the Philippines, and recognize the countless ways Filipino-Ontarians have contributed to the social, cultural and economic success of our province.
