MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON EDUCATION WEEK
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciated the Minister of Education’s speech today about thanking the educators and Teachers’ Association. I also would like to rise and thank those members, it being Education Week. I think there are a lot of people out there in the education world that are putting a lot of extra hours in and they should be thanked, especially during this week.
There’s a whole bunch of different teachers. There are teachers, there are teachers’ assistants and there are people in our district education authorities that help run it that are dealing with the management of education in the Northwest Territories. They all should be commended during this week.
I’d also like to congratulate them on their 60th anniversary, and I’m glad to know that a lot of those retired teachers are living in Hay River and we do appreciate the former teachers that we’ve had in the community. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. The Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.
