The Minnedosa MLA continues her province-wide tour aimed at improving grandparents' access to grandchildren. 

Leanne Rowat visited the Herman Prior Centre in Portage this afternoon to speak on the issue and gather feedback from Portagers. 

 

She explains there's several situations which prompted concern, including geographical challenges and family breakdown through death or divorce. 

 

Through her tour, Rowat indicates there's an overwhelming population who are still trying to gain access of their grandchildren, and believes others are starting to realize the same thing. 

 

This will be the third time the private members bill will be introduced to the government -- Rowat is optimistic of the outcome.
