Last year was a life-changing year for me, like no other year before it. There were a number of notable developments in my academic work at Memorial University of Newfoundland, my political work with the New Democratic Party, and my personal life, but two events clearly stand atop the others.
On October 11, 2011, voters elected me to represent the district of St. John's North in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly. After the election, I was named the New Democratic Party critic for Education, Advanced Education and Skills, Status of Persons with Disabilities, Youth Engagement, Labour, the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission, and the Labour Relations Agency. I'm looking forward to working for my constituents over the next four years, and continuing to build our Party across the province.

On May 14, 2011, Leigh gave birth to our son Kieran Arthur Kirby. Born a month earlier than he was scheduled to arrive, Kieran was 5 lbs 9 oz. Every day he finds a special way to remind us why we looked forward to his arrival with so much anticipation.
