What an amazing road trip I had last week in my friend and MLA Bill Oliver’s riding of Kings Centre. We put on a lot of miles and I loved every minute of it. We visited the John Fisher Museum in Kingston - what an impressive collection that reflects the rich heritage of the area. Next stop was the incredible Yip Cider which goes far beyond being a producer of cider as it becomes a gorgeous attraction for tourism and entertainment. We walked the grounds of the former Lone Water Farm, and paid a visit to Tammy at the former community school that has become the River Road Hub in Browns Flat. This multi-purpose gathering place shows exactly what a community of focused, passionate volunteers can do when they dream together. And finally we visited the breathtaking Evandale Resort and Marina to hear more about the Olsen family’s vision to recreate a luxury resort in this little piece of Heaven…and we ate the most delicious food prepared by their most amazing chef. There is just so much to see and do in this neck of the woods…you really should take a drive. It’s stunning.

It’s #MiracleTreatDay at DQ Grill & Chill in Sussex and I got to serve Blizzards. I have discovered the perfect job to make everyone happy. 🙂


Proceeds from the sale of Blizzards went to support the IWK Children’s Foundation. What an excellent cause!


Congratulations Michelle Long and your super staff for an amazing day.

The 9th Francophonie Games came to a close on Sunday in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Team Canada-New Brunswick returned home with two bronze medals in freestyle wrestling and also took part in cultural competitions at the games.


Fredericton wrestlers Vivian Kutnowski and Elena Sehic won medals in their weight categories (under 65 kg and under 72 kg respectively).


We are proud of our participants, who delivered great results. Our participants were very well received by the people of Kinshasa. Collaboration with Team Canada was excellent, and the opening ceremony was truly impressive, with 80,000 spectators.


Nearly 40 international delegations comprised of more than 2,500 young athletes, artists and chaperones attended the event; eight New Brunswickers competed in literature, painting and wrestling.


“The New Brunswick delegation had a memorable experience participating in the Francophonie Games,” said Glen Savoie, minister responsible for la Francophonie. “Furthermore, the artists were able to present their work to a very receptive audience and networked with other artists from many other countries and member states of the International Organization of La Francophonie.”


The Francophonie Games represent a unique opportunity for New Brunswick to participate in achieving its objectives within La Francophonie, and to offer young people an international experience in artistic and athletic development.


As many as 84 delegations from the governments and member states of the International Organization of La Francophonie have been invited to take part in the next Games, which will be held in 2027.
