Member’s Statement On Take Back The Night And Family Violence Prevention Events In Tuktoyaktuk

Member Default

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I am making a brief statement to mention two important events that took place in Tuktoyaktuk. They are the ladies Take Back the Night march and Family Violence Week.

Mr. Speaker, I am happy to say that it was a pleasure to partake in these events. It was wonderful to see so many elders, youth, adults and government employees partake in the events that followed, such as food snacks, games and sing-a-longs. Mayor Jackie Jacobson, myself and government employees started off with opening speeches to remind everyone to love, respect and care for one another.

Many thanks should go to the coordinators of these events. Mr. Speaker, we must remember to always start each day by respecting and loving our elders, children, friends and neighbours. Thank you.
