MP CAROL HUGHES
*************************
OTTAWA – “Tomorrow officially marks the first day of summer. And there’s no better place to spend those long summer days than in Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing,” said Carol Hughes, MP for Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing, today in the House of Commons.
She highlighted just a small sampling of all the incredible events that are happening throughout Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing all summer long.
“Next week, Elliot Lake will celebrate Uranium Days, with special events and activities leading up to Canada day and Hearst continues to celebrate their centennial with tons of activities during Homecoming Week.
"You love pow-wows? There’s one almost every weekend, from Sheguiandah First Nation to Michipicoten First Nation. Love boating or camping? There’s no shortage of lakes, including Lake Huron and Lake Superior.
"Winnie's Hometown Festival in White River is the perfect place to celebrate the world’s most famous bear and the Wiikwemkoong Annual Cultural Festival shouldn’t be missed. You’ll also find several agricultural fairs, from Providence Bay to Bruce Mines. And for music lovers, the Go North Festival, the Manitoulin Countryfest, and Rocking the Rock are a must.”
Given the one-minute limit for Member’s Statements in the House of Commons, MP Hughes was only able to highlight a small sampling of all the events happening in Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing this summer but called on Canadians to take the opportunity to visit this unique part of the country.
