Sep 20, 2021 | 11:32 PM

Conservative incumbent Kelly Block has been voted in once again in the Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek riding.

Block said she didn’t take anything for granted over the past few weeks on the campaign trail.

“We worked hard over the past five weeks getting on the doorstep and calling into the riding,” Block said. “I am just really grateful for the voters of the Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek for putting their confidence in me once again.”

Next up for Block is taking some time to re-connect with family and take care of a few things.

“I look forward to seeing when we may be called back to Ottawa, continue to working hard as her majesty’s loyal opposition,” she said.
