So much fun for the family in Lagimodière this summer
Lagimodière
As the summer rolls on, my team and I have been focused on a few projects, but the overall theme has been about being in the community. Whether it's through connecting with folks at their doorstep or through organizing local events, our priority is simple: to be accessible, to listen, and to ensure we're on the right track. I believe that good representation shouldn't depend on your schedule matching mine; it's our job to meet you where you are.
This summer has been filled with many memorable moments. We've continued to host our regular 'Tea with Tyler' gatherings at Charito Bakery & Pastry in Sage Creek, where we welcome people to discuss issues that resonate with them, while building community over drinks and snacks. The Bonavista neighbourhood has also been hopping with activity, from our popsicle and face-painting party in the park, to the well-attended consultation for the development of the Bonavista Community Centre.
And of course, we had the pleasure of joining the Canada Day celebration in Sage Creek, at least until the thunder rolled in! A big thank-you to the Sage Creek Residents' Association and all the volunteers who continue to make it a vibrant, growing tradition.
Lagimodière MLA Tyler Blashko had a great time celebrating Canada Day with the community in Sage Creek.
This August and September, our office is excited to continue bringing the Lagimodière community together through fun, family-friendly events. Join us for a popsicle party in Island Lakes on Aug. 14, a storytime hike through the Bois-des-Esprits trail on Aug. 28, and a pet parade in Sage Creek on Sept. 7. Keep an eye on our social media for full event details, or if you're not on social media, feel free to contact our office anytime for more information.

While we've been hearing positive feedback from the community, we also know the work doesn't stop here. Your government is making investments to rebuild health care, including undergoing public consultations to ensure that when the new Victoria Hospital Emergency Room opens, it will meet the community's needs, and we've also introduced a new tool called that allows you to book hospital appointments and avoid unnecessary waits.
Whether it's at your door or in the community, my team and I are here to listen, advocate, and help in any way we can. If you'd like to get in touch, you can reach us at 204-583-7423 or or swing by our office at 6-567 St. Anne's Rd.
