In honour of the milestone anniversary, organizers called up every winner of the event’s giant pumpkin category over the years and presented them with a com- memorative mini-pumpkin.

Dondo, who has been a school trustee and currently serves on the Local Urban District of St. Claude, said they would priorize balancing the budget and eliminate the debt within 25 years, which would allow them to reduce taxes and invest more in services. “I don’t think [the Conservatives] can be trusted to bal- ance budgets because they haven’t done it yet in the last seven years,” he said. “They did have a surplus in the last 15102ce1 fi scal year, but that was more by chance than any plan they had.” CANDICE BERGEN, CONSERVATIVE PARTY In her absence, Bergen’s representative read a state- ment on her behalf.

Bergen also said that she worked hard for Portage-Lis- gar to bring the riding infrastructure funding as well as in advocating for funding for seniors centres and resi- dences and assisting small businesses through the small business grant.
