It was great to see so many smiling faces yesterday afternoon. No one knows #Newmarket— #Aurora like @MurphyGallagher. She has been a strong advocate for families in the community from day one and will be an incredible MPP. Let’s #GetItDone!
Yesterday families got a special surprise when @celliottability joined me at the door. Thank you, Christine, for being an amazing friend and mentor. I’m so lucky to have you in my corner. Building on your legacy, I’ll continue to #GetItDone for the people of #Newmarket—#Aurora.

This is one more way we are building a stronger, more resilient health care system for all Ontarians, no matter where they live. With this investment, patients and families in Timmins will be able to access care that meets their unique needs for years to come, close to home.
Ontario is investing over $10M to build a new facility for @CscTimmins. This will bring services together under one roof to improve access to care for Francophone-Ontarians in Timmins and the surrounding communities. Learn more: https://t.co/iMtFjJkgQN
