On Wednesday, a 14-year-old student opened fire in Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, killing two fellow students and two teachers. I am outraged by yet another act of senseless violence in our schools.

Last Saturday, I spent the day visiting with various community groups. For our first stop, we celebrated Family Day with the North Center Neighbors Association. Next, we visited the Bowmanville Summer Social, hosted by the Bowmanville Community Organization.
