Banff- Airdrie, MP Blake Richards will be making his way around the riding to discuss the economy and upcoming budget.

While Richards hosts a number of opportunities for Cochranites to sit down and share their concerns with him, he finds pre-budget consultation discussions are an invaluable way for him to connect with constituents and hear the economic issues that matter to them most. " The shape of our economy has a direct impact on people’s day-to-day lives, and it’s incredibly important for me to hear what people have to share. Previous consultations have been so successful because constituents from across the riding have always brought a lot of crucial information to the table."

With a federal election occurring later this year, MP Richards finds this a great way to advocate on behalf of the communities he represents and wants to make sure he hears from as many constituents as possible. "People have concerns with our economy, taxes, and how life is becoming less affordable, and I welcome everyone to come out and have their say."

If you would like to attend the consultation evening in Cochrane, it is being held from 8 to 9:30 p.m. on January 23rd at the Cochrane Legion.
