ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 6-16(6): EDUCATION HALL OF FAME – ETHEL BLONDIN-ANDREW

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to acknowledge the former MP of Western Arctic Mrs. Ethel Blondin-Andrew. She was recently recognized as a contributor to the building of our education system in the North. Mrs. Blondin-Andrew was given the honour of her name to stand beside others who were also named to the Hall of Fame in Education.

Mrs. Blondin-Andrew was the first Aboriginal MP to sit in the House of Parliament in Ottawa. Today Mrs. Blondin-Andrew continues to support our education system by representing the Sahtu on the Aurora College Board of Governors and representing the seven land claim organizations through the Sahtu Secretariat Incorporated.

I salute Mrs. Blondin-Andrew for her continuing efforts.
