Dear Friends and Supporters,

I want to personally thank each and every one of you who believe in our cause, and have so generously opened your chequebooks and/or your time to help us become a very strong force to reckon with here in Perth Wellington.

2022 was a really good year. We initiated the Electoral District Association (EDA) early January2022. It took a while to work through the formalities of registering our current Association (dealing with Canada’s bureaucracy is always slow and tedious), but we got through it and managed to have everything in place for our Father’s Day Fundraiser. We checked pretty well all the boxes with that one: support small business and community, provide a useful product, great buy in from our supporters, and to top it all off, we did quite well financially, being our first ever fundraiser. Thank you all for participating.

Summer was spent recovering from the Provincial and preparing for the Municipal election. I especially want to thank all our supporters who either stepped up Provincially or Municipally to do their part to make a difference in our country. Because a lot of our EDA became heavily involved with the Municipal election, we decided to apply our efforts towards assisting our Municipal candidates. Thereby holding off having any fundraisers until after.

We learned that Randy Hillier was going to be in our part of Ontario mid November, so we decided to take advantage of that opportunity and held our second fundraiser on November 18. As it turned out, that night was particularly nasty, and Thank-You for braving the weather. The meal, the company of like minded people, the inspirational speeches, and the beautiful line up of silent auction items made the evening a very worthwhile event.

In addition, the PPC head office heard about our evening, and as a result, Maxime has agreed to come out to visit us in Perth Wellington. Please mark February 4, 2023 as a day you shouldn’t miss. The details have not been formalized as of yet, but it is going to be a full day, and we will be commemorating the first anniversary of the Truckers Convoy.

Lastly, let us all work to gain PPC representation in the House of Commons so we can hold Pierre Poilievre to his promises.

May 2023 bring higher levels of accountability to our Government, and may we as a nation take pride in and reinforce our status as the True North Strong and FREE.

Merry Christmas!

Wayne Baker and the Team
