Marc G. Serré working hard for you! Au travail pour vous !
The second week of the Federal Election is in full swing and Marc G. Serré, the Federal Liberal candidate for Nickel Belt, is wasting no time as he continues his hard work for the people of Nickel Belt. “I’m grateful for the tremendous support shown up to date. This pandemic hasn’t been easy, and I know it will take hard work to fully overcome our remaining challenges. We have had many successes over the years, and I want residents to know they can count on me to keep delivering solutions,” said Marc.
“It’s been great re-engaging directly in the community as safety protocols and vaccines have allowed for more direct engagement. Volunteers have been eager to help get signs into the ground and we are preparing for our campaign office openings,” added Marc.
His campaign office openings will be held on Wednesday, August 25th, from 3pm-7pm in Val Caron at 3020 Hwy 69 North, and on Thursday, August 26thfrom 3pm-7pm at 59 William Street in Sturgeon Falls.
Over the past six years, Marc has been deeply involved in his role as MP to improve the lives of all communities the vast riding of Nickel Belt. As a lifelong Nickel Belt resident, proud francophone and métis, Marc has always found a way to keep politics local. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he has a vested interest in advancing policy that prioritizes the environment, youth, Indigenous issues, affordability, seniors, improved infrastructure, accessibility, economic development, job creation, support for families, high speed internet access, education, agriculture, and much more.
Marc takes great pride in working with residents, businesses, Chambers of Commerce, stakeholders, municipal governments, and others directly at the grassroots level. He listens intently and ensures that residents have their voices heard in Ottawa. His advocacy has ensured that Nickel Belt has benefited from over $675 million in funding for varied important projects in all corners of the riding. Each investment tells a story and shapes the future of the region.
Whether advocating for an investment for Highway 69, for a senior’s craft shop in Skead, for a long-term care home in Chelmsford, for accessibility at a community theatre in Valley East, to a 55 unit affordable housing complex in Coniston, or for a Legion in Sturgeon Falls – Marc knows these are more than dollar figures. These investments support projects to meet the real needs identified by individuals to make Nickel Belt an even greater place to live, work and play.
"It is with great pleasure that the Federal Liberal Nickel Belt Association recognizes the tremendous contribution of Marc G. Serré during his two terms as Member of Parliament for Nickel Belt," said Daniel Campaign, Campaign Manager. “We believe that this kind-hearted, empathetic and dynamic man has and will continue to strive to earn the support of the people of Nickel Belt so that he can continue to represent them in the future to the very best of his ability. "
“Elections bring out passionate emotions. I’ve made it a priority to always run positive campaigns and keep focused on what matters: the people of Nickel Belt and their priorities. I remain accessible to engage with residents, listen, and understand their unique priorities in the over 48 communities and 3 First Nations across the riding- that’s my track record locally and one I will always uphold,” said Marc.
I choose to keep believing in the good of people in Nickel Belt. We’ve got amazing volunteers, fantastic community organizations and people who want to make a difference. The community spirit here is truly unmatched. Encouraging all Nickel Belt residents to vote either by mail, at the advanced polls, at the returning Elections Canada offices or in person on September 20th. Democracy is in the hands of the people and I would be extremely grateful to continue serving you as MP,” concluded Marc.
