Dale Nally engages with community during Constituency Week

By Shelley Winger

MLA Dale Nally spent March 2 to 6 visiting local organizations and connecting with
constituents during Constituency Week, a dedicated period when elected officials step out of the
legislature to spend time in their home communities. Constituency Week gave residents the
opportunity to meet their MLA, discuss local concerns, and see firsthand how government
programs and grants were making an impact.

Throughout the week, Nally attended a wide range of events, from grant presentations to
charitable initiatives, highlighting the ongoing work taking place across the constituency.

Early in the week, Nally congratulated the Dynamyx Gymnastics Club on receiving a $10,747
Community Initiatives Program (CIP) Grant. “You are building an amazing club and your hard
work and determination are proving to be the backbone of the facility,” he said, emphasizing the
importance of supporting youth programs and local sports organizations.

Later, Nally visited Cardiff Golf and Country Club to present a $996,712 Community Facility
Enhancement Program (CFEP) Grant for the club’s new banquet hall and expanded facilities. He
praised the club team and DCM Group for their work in bringing the project to life and
expressed excitement about seeing the new facility open to the public.

Constituency Week also included supporting local charitable initiatives. Nally stopped by the St.
Albert Firefighters Roof Top Campaign to encourage residents to contribute to muscular
dystrophy research and highlighted the importance of community support for local firefighters.

He also shared the provincial spring budget update with members of the Morinville and District
Chamber of Commerce, connecting with local business owners and constituents while discussing
provincial programs and economic priorities.

One of the week’s highlights was a community dinner at Jessie’s House, where Nally and MP
Michael Cooper cooked for residents, offering hands-on support for the organization and the
people it serves.

Although Constituency Week concluded on March 6, residents will have another opportunity to
engage with their elected representatives at an upcoming joint town hall with Nally and Cooper
on March 19. The event will provide an opportunity for residents to discuss local issues, ask
questions, and learn more about government initiatives.

Constituency Week is designed to strengthen connections between elected officials and the
communities they represent. From supporting youth sports to recognizing the efforts of
businesses and charitable organizations, the week highlighted the importance of community
engagement and the role local leaders play in fostering strong, resilient communities.
