Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to use my Member’s statement today to encourage the 1,189 youth participating in the NWT track meet going in the next couple of days in Hay River.
My colleague Mrs. Groenewegen and myself would like to thank some of the Members from the Legislative Assembly that travelled down to Hay River to see the exciting grand opening of the NWT track meet this year: Premier Bob McLeod, Minister Robert C. McLeod, Mr. Daryl Dolynny, Mr. Alfred Moses. Thank you for coming to Hay River.
The NWT track and field event is organized by over 300 volunteers. It has a great economic impact to Hay River. I would like to encourage the youth to have fun, make friends and try your hardest. The event involves over 100 coaches. Thank you, coaches, for all your hard work and efforts for the youth.
The event involves 36 teams from 19 communities. The 19 communities are as follows: Colville Lake, Fort Liard, Fort McPherson, Fort Providence, Fort Res, Fort Simpson, Fort Smith, Gameti, Inuvik, Kakisa, Nahanni Butte, Ndilo, Norman Wells, Rae Edzo, Trout Lake, Wrigley, Yellowknife, our neighbours beside us, K’atlodeeche and, of course, the host, Hay River. Good luck to all the participants. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. The honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Blake.
