THANK YOU!
I HAVE ALSO BEEN SO AMAZED WITH SOME OF THE NEW VOLUNTEERS JUST GETTING INVOLVED IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND EVEN BETTER, NEW SUPPORTERS OF THE PC PARTY.
I AM AWED AND HUMBLED BY MY VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE PUT THEIR TRUST IN ME. I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT GOVERNING IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT. I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU. ALBERTANS DESERVE A GOVERNMENT WITH INTEGRITY, A GOVERNMENT THAT IS ACCOUNTABLE AND ONE THAT CARES ABOUT THE PEOPLE AFFECTED MOST BY THE CHOICES IT MAKES.
THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ABOUT REAL ISSUES – QUALITY OF LIFE, GREENING OUR GROWTH AND PROTECTING OUR OPPORTUNITIES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH YOU ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, HOMELESSNESS, HEALTH CARE, SENIORS, FAMILIES IN CRISIS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THESE REAL ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED!

One more sleep......
Get 3200 doors! It’s all up to you tomorrow. My team and I have worked hard and I am very proud of all our efforts. It is remarkable that 27 and a half days have already passed. It’s been a whirlwind of activity. I just wanted to mention a few of my favorite moments:
. My mascots, Remy and Sandy in their battle for supremacy in the campaign office.
. Meeting new volunteers every day.
. Steadfast Louisa for all of her phoning day after day.
. Fresh, scrumptious baking from our neighbour and friend Michael
. Meeting Monica and getting the sisterhood handshake and how happy she was to meet me on her doorstep.
. Helping Chad push his car out of the snow.
. The Power door knocking team.
. The warm responses I received at the doors.
. Fantastic conversations on the environment, health care, affordable housing, education and many other issues.
. How shocked many people were when I appeared on their doorstep and asked if I would be back between elections. I said, most definitely YES.
. Hugs at the doors.
. Ice Cream Party at Meadowcroft, Coffee Parties at St Andrews, McQueen, Mountwood and Groat House.
. Returning to my former High School, Ross Sheppard for a debate.
. Door knocking with our MP, Laurie Hawn.
It is so important to vote tomorrow. Every vote will count and I want to make a difference! Put an X by Heather Klimchuk.
Cheers,
Heather
