BRAMPTON: With the summer nearly over, and school back in full swing, thousands of Bramptonians and their families took to Chinguacousy Park to hear from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and enjoy an afternoon of food, fun and entertainment. Along with having the opportunity to connect with friends and neighbours, attendees were able to meet with their local MPs Sonia Sidhu, Kamal Khera, Ruby Sahota, Raj Grewal, and Ramesh Sangha and share their views as constituents.
With the festivities underway, the five MPs joined Trudeau as he delivered his remarks on the hard work ahead toward building a better future for families in Brampton and across Canada.
“Every Canadian having a real and fair chance at success and having the opportunities, tools, support, and resources they need to prosper is our priority” said the MPs from Brampton jointly. “We are committed to working together as a team and will continue investing into Canada’s greatest resource – its people”.
The Annual Community Appreciation BBQ was the third BBQ held jointly by the Brampton Federal Liberal Associations and provided a chance for the five MPs to recognize those that had given them the opportunity to serve their communities.
