I joined countless other drivers this past weekend driving east through Couchiching and then over the Noden Causeway to see what shape Rainy Lake ice was in. By late Friday evening, the ice had retreated deep into Sand Bay and the inside channel along the 7 Mile Bridge was opening up.
North of the causeway, the ice had turned almost a midnight black. Where the ice road had been this winter, a black slick of water curved north. From the fixed railway bridge to the Causeway an opening in the ice just over a boat was visible.

This past week I was happy to table a new Private Members’ Bill that will help secure the pensions of workers at companies that enter bankruptcy proceedings or undertake supervised restructuring. Bill C-501 (An Act to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and other Acts) has the potential to secure tens of thousands of pensions across Canada and I am optimistic that it will pass with the full support of other parties in the House of Commons.

As the weather went over the weekend, I found myself wearing shorts on my deck twice, but that was not to be the case on Saturday when I went to cover the annual Easter Egg hunt at the Rainy River Community Centre.
More than a hundred kids were there ready to do crafts and participate in many fun activities.
However, many of them did not come dressed for the mix of weather we received. I saw some kids wearing winter coats and others with just sweatshirts on.
