Larry Maguire’s Retirement Party Set for Tomorrow Evening

A retirement party for former Brandon-Souris MP Larry Maguire will take place on March 16, 2024, at the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum. The event is scheduled to begin at 17:00, and ticket availability is limited, according to current Brandon-Souris MP Grant Jackson.

The celebration aims to honor Maguire’s extensive political career, which includes his tenure as an MP from 2013 until his unexpected retirement prior to the upcoming 2025 election. He previously served as the MLA for Arthur-Virden from 1999 to 2013. Jackson expressed enthusiasm about the event, stating, “It should be a very nice evening celebrating a remarkable career.”

Participants can expect a festive atmosphere, complete with a meal, entertainment, and opportunities to share fond memories of Maguire’s significant contributions to agriculture and politics. Jackson, who regards Maguire as a “great mentor,” emphasized the importance of celebrating such milestones in public service.

Tickets for the event are priced at $125 each. This fee includes dinner and entertainment, as well as a meet-and-greet opportunity with Maguire. Jackson noted that purchasing a ticket counts as a political contribution, and attendees will receive a tax receipt for their donation.

The party not only marks the end of Maguire’s political journey but also serves as a reminder of the impact individuals can have within their communities.
