It has been another busy month throughout the riding of Simcoe-Grey and at Queen\u2019s Park. It seems as though it has taken forever for the warm weather to arrive, but we closed out the month with brilliant sunshine and more seasonable temperatures. I have enjoyed touring the riding, meeting with business owners, educators, entrepreneurs and friends. We are so fortunate to be able to call Simcoe-Grey home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant for Matthews House Hospice in Alliston<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simcoe-Grey MPP Brian Saunderson met with the team at Matthews House Hospice<\/a><\/strong> (MHH) to hear how a $150,000 Capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) in 2022 has made an impact. The grant was used to install a high-level security system designed specifically to ensure people living with mild to moderate dementia and cognitive impairments are safe. The system was required for the new Memory Care and Dementia Day program. The project has been completed and the new program will commence on June 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis important investment by the Ontario Trillium Foundation to install a state-of-the-art security system to ensure the safety and security of the patients in the memory care and dementia day program. I want to congratulate Matthews House CEO, Margaret Bachle, and her team of staff and dedicated volunteers for the great work they do supporting people and their families in our community\u201d said Saunderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Wasaga Beach Provincial Park Patrol Boat is now in service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this spring, the Ontario government announced it had invested $123,000 to purchase a new patrol boat for Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. The objective was to improve the visitor experience at the park and boost local tourism at the world\u2019s longest fresh water beach. The new boat is bigger and better equipped than the previous boat that patrolled the beach waterfront. It also stands out more. Park officials say the boat\u2019s design and lettering provides improved visibility from shore and on the water, important in an emergency situation allowing the patrol boat to be identified quickly by other boaters and those that require help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
