CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who ran for office and to everyone who voted

The team at Keewaytinook Okimakanak congratulates all the successful candidates who will be going to Ottawa to form the next Canadian Parliament.

In our own riding of Kenora, one of the largest ridings in Ontario with over fifty First Nations located here, Liberal incumbent Roger Valley won the seat for a second term. He will be part of the official opposition working with the new Conservative minority government.

Congratulations as well to all those who completed in this election. Many issues were discussed throughout this campaign and new directions presented.

The next few years should prove to be interesting for all Canadians working within our democratic process.
