MP Kurek Hosts Town Halls in the Special Areas

Youngstown, AB — Battle River-Crowfoot Member of Parliament Damien C. Kurek visited Oyen, Empress and Youngstown earlier this month, continuing his 2023 town halls.

“It’s important to me that I hear from folks about how they are feeling about the state of our nation,” Kurek said, “and to have a conversation.”

The July 5th meetings saw over 60 constituents attend throughout the South-Eastern portion of Battle River—Crowfoot.

Kurek discussed a variety of topics, including local concerns, his work in Ottawa, frustrations with the Federal Government, and issues pertaining to rural Canada. He shared some of the solutions that Pierre Poilievre and Canada's Conservatives are offering Canadians.

A major local concern in all three communities was the drought that the Special Areas and many areas of Alberta are currently experiencing.

Constituents also voiced their frustration with Liberal failures with grants like Canada Summer Jobs, mental health concerns, energy production and usage, and the military.

Kurek finished each of his town halls by thanking the attendees and the venues where he hosted. 

“A big part of my job as your Member of Parliament is to talk to you about the issues we discussed here today, but many folks don't realize that their M.P. can provide constituents with assistance with federal government programs. If you have one of those concerns, please feel free to reach out and we'll do everything we can to help.”
