Thank you to Ontario's Health Minister Sylvia Jones for this important message during Breast Cancer Awareness Month - and the work being done to ensure more women are being screened.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Since our government lowered the age of self-referral for mammograms from age 50 to 40 two years ago, more than 330,000 people in their 40s have been screened - leading to better outcomes. Because early detection saves lives.

🚨Great news for Augusta Township! Our government is protecting tariff-impacted workers and industries with an investment of $750,000 through the $40-million Trade-Impacted Communities Program (TICP) to support the township’s Maitland Chemical Industrial Park feasibility study. The study will provide a pathway to support existing industries on the site and attract new industrial investment while reducing reliance on U.S. supply chains. With its prime location, infrastructure, and skilled local workers, the Maitland Chemical Industrial Park is well positioned to attract new investment to grow our economy in Leeds and Grenville. Proud that we're supporting Augusta Township to capitalize on opportunities to create new, good-paying manufacturing jobs on the site. Learn more: steveclarkmpp.com/ontario-in…

Ontario is a global energy superpower. And we’re just getting started. We can no longer rely on the U.S. for our prosperity or our security. That’s why we’re securing Canada’s energy sovereignty by building new nuclear, the largest battery storage fleet in the country and the transmission to connect it all. Reliable power. Stronger communities. More jobs for Ontario workers.

We owe it to our brave police officers to ensure they have the tools they need to do their jobs safely. We’re urging the federal government to take the actions below to protect our officers and communities they serve.
Police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. The least we can do in response is have their backs, no matter what. Today, I wrote to the Prime Minister outlining a series of practical steps to support and protect our brave women and men in uniform.
