Interlake-Gimli MLA Derek Johnson formally recognized the Mason family of Mason Farms in Oak Point, Manitoba, during a recent session of the provincial legislature. This recognition in March 2026 highlighted the family’s long history and their contributions to the local agricultural sector.

The Mason family operates a multi-generational farm that is a key part of the community in Oak Point. Johnson spoke about how their hard work helps support the local economy and maintains the social fabric of the Interlake region.

Johnson is a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus and has represented the area since 2016. As a former Minister of Agriculture, he frequently highlights the importance of family-run operations to rural residents.

The tribute took place during the current spring session of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly. These official acknowledgments are used to showcase the value of local citizens and their achievements to the rest of the province.
