Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize Ms. Margaret Miller, this year’s recipient of the Outstanding Volunteer Award for the elder category.
They say that time is the most precious thing we can give to others as we only have a set amount of it. If we give someone our time, we give away a little bit of our life that we’ll never get back. Giving our time is the simplest contribution we can make to help others and to make our community a better place.
Ms. Margaret Miller is one of the most dedicated and hardworking community members in Inuvik. It would be hard to find an organization, fundraiser or an event in town that she has not been a part of. Margaret has volunteered for the Great Northern Arts Festival, the Inuvik Food Bank, Santa’s Elves, and Arctic Paws, just to name a few.
May her example be an inspiration to others.
