Ian WishartA constituency appreciation barbecue took place in Portage la Prairie by MLA Ian Wishart. The event was held just outside his portage office, and Wishart shares some of the conversations he had.

"Lots of thoughts about what we've got done so far, and what else we should try to get done of Portage. I'm very happy to hear from them. We got lots of ideas. Give us a little time to get some of these things done. And I do appreciate Portagers continuing to support me as their MLA."

He says it's an semi-annual event.

"Ever since I got elected we've done this at least a couple of times a year. We're a little late doing it this year. This is still the spring one, because of course with the election and getting government started in sessions we were a little delayed in getting to it. We got a good turnout today, and it's a lovely day for it."
