Paul Connors, M.P.

Paul Connors, M.P. Member of Parliament for the riding of Avalon, NL My name is Paul Connors, and I am your Liberal Party candidate for Avalon.

Born to Stan and Evelyn Connors, I grew up on Bell Island before moving to Kelligrews in Conception Bay South in 1970. Myself, My wife, Michelle, and our two children, Jenna and Bradley, still live in CBS today. I graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a Bachelor of Commerce, a Diploma in Business Administration, and a Certificate in Business Administration. Over my career, I've h

eld senior management positions, including 14 years as Executive Director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture. There, I advocated for farmers, developed educational tools, and secured transformative funding and legislative changes for the agricultural industry. Most recently, I’ve worked as Executive Assistant to our current MP, Ken McDonald. In this role, I've watched him stand-up for the people of Avalon time and again. He’s shown me what it means to be the voice of the people in Ottawa, and not the other way around. I’m committed to continuing this legacy. I’ve also been honored to serve two terms as a councilor here in Conception Bay South, contributing to significant improvements in our community like improving access to state of the art recreation facilities in the new CBS stadium and the recently announced indoor recreation facility at the Gateway. I’m deeply committed to volunteerism, having coached generations of kids in minor hockey and served as chair of the Sammy’s Climb Higher Foundation and the Conception Bay South ATV Committee and served on many other committees and boards related to economic development, agriculture and sport. With the experience, passion, and dedication to our community, I’m ready to represent Avalon in Ottawa. I ask for your trust to continue the progress we’ve made and to work toward a brighter future for all.

In the wake of 9/11, the community of Gander showed the world the strength of kindness. This new Heritage Minute shares that powerful story of generosity, compassion, and community spirit that our province is so well known for.

Good news for residents in the Town of Conception Bay South!

On behalf of Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing & Infrastructure, I am proud to announce this morning an investment of $1,006,587 through the Active Transportation Fund, with an additional investment from the Town of Conception Bay South of $671,057 for a total of over $1.6 million.

This funding will be used to build new and expanded networks of pathways, sidewalks, bike lanes, and trails.

At Topsail Beach that means improving the washrooms, change rooms, and extending the accessible trail down to the beach!

At Worsley Park the accessible trail will also be extended to the water’s edge and a new dock and launching wharf will built for kayaks and canoes and other non-motorized crafts!

With this funding you’ll also soon see new bike racks and new day use lockers along the trail system throughout the town!

These investments will make this beautiful community more accessible, connected, and enjoyable for everyone!

Sending out a special thank you this morning to the Cupids Legacy Centre for hosting another incredible event last night — the 2nd Annual Water Witch Lecture, featuring the fascinating story of Catherine (Mandeville) Snow.

It was especially meaningful to have Catherine’s great-great great-granddaughter, Mary Snow, in attendance to share in the occasion and deliver a wonderful and moving speech.

A special thanks to the board and everyone involved in making this event possible. Events like these play such an important role in preserving, celebrating, and sharing our rich history and heritage.

I would also like to thank my Community Outreach Assistant, Shannon Duff, for bringing greetings on my behalf.

Congratulations to everyone involved in making the evening such a memorable success! 👏
