IN THE HOUSE - MP Peter Julian’s National Recovery Month Motion Adopted in Parliament

Today, MP Peter Julian proposed the recognition of National Recovery Awareness Month. It was adopted unanimously in the House of Commons by all Members of Parliament.

 

“It’s been a long and difficult fight to get an unanimous consent support. It is vitally important that we designate every September as a National Recovery Month to recognize and support Canadians recovering from addiction and to demonstrate that recovery from addiction is possible, attainable and sustainable. I want to thank the Recovery community and organizations across Canada who have been working so hard to promote and collect thousands of petition signatures,” said Julian. 

“On behalf of Recovery Month Canada, thank you to MP Julian for his tireless efforts to advocate for declaring September as the National Recovery Month. Activists, like myself, across Canada are excited to see that Canada recognizes and supports those who are recovering from addiction,” stated, Giuseppe Ganci, Director of Community Development, Last Door Recovery Society.

MP Julian's 2024 end of year report

Dear Neighbours,

I hope you and your family are doing well.

It’s an honour to serve as your Member of Parliament in New Westminster – Burnaby, one of the most culturally diverse communities in Canada.

 

 

All I want for Christmas is healthy teeth!

On Monday, New Democrats announced the implementation of the NDP’s national dental care program, which will save millions of families across Canada around $1,300 a year. In my riding of New Westminster – Burnaby, over 26,000 seniors, people living with a disability, and families struggling to pay the bills will no longer have to choose between a visit to the dentist or keep a roof over their head.
