Memramcook-Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton has announced that she’s on maternity leave. Mitton posted to Facebook yesterday saying that as her due date approaches, the time to step back from her work temporarily has come.
Mitton says she and her staff have spent several months planning and preparing for the transition, and her constituency office will remain open for people to call or email during her leave, with staff available to respond.
“While I won’t be the one responding, I have the utmost faith and confidence in my staff,” wrote Mitton.
Her constituency office will have increased staff resources to help cover her leave.
Mitton also won’t be as active on social media during her leave, but says her, “team will keep it active to ensure you stay updated.”
“My staff and I appreciate your patience as we navigate welcoming a new baby into the life of an MLA,” she wrote.
