I was thrilled to see the work that goes on behind the scenes at IKEA and meet the wonderful staff that keeps this place running so well. They opened in 1987 and been a community staple ever since. If you’re anything like me you didn’t make it past the frozen yogurt.

I was thrilled to announce on behalf of Hon. @MarjoriePLC, Minister of Health, over $10 million in funding to support our community partners in building programs to reduce the risk of chronic disease, leading to longer and improved quality of life for Canadians. More info: here
