The leader of the Manitoba Progressive Conservative Party paid a visit to Dauphin on Friday.

Heather Stefanson visited a local cattle operation, Vermillion Growers, and Northgate trails, before wrapping up the whirlwind visit with a reception at Obsolete Brewing. 

Stefanson says retaining the Dauphin constituency in Tuesday's election is important to her party.

"We see lots of great things happening.  Here we are at Obsolete Brewing (Friday night), we were at Vermillion Greenhouse earlier (Friday).  There are so many things.  Jobs coming to this community. It is thriving and this is what we want to see and I just think there is hope and opportunity for the future here."

Local PC candidate Gord Wood accompanied Stefanson during her visit to Dauphin.

The PC leader says Wood has worked extremely hard during this campaign. 

"He is very well known within the community.  I have been out here a couple of times now and he will be a tremendous asset to us in our caucus and be an incredible representative for this community.  We look forward to continuing to have this community represented in a Progressive Conservative government after the next election."

Wood says the visit by Stefanson is definitely a huge boost to his campaign going into its final days. 

"I think it is a good support.  It just validates what we are doing here.  We know that we have support from the PC party and that we have had that support all of the way through.  Her coming here at the end of the campaign just shows that we have support within the community. She wants to see us retain this seat."

Manitobans go to the polls to elect their next government on Tuesday. 

Saturday is the final day for advanced voting.
