Member’s Statement On Condolence To The Families Of Helen Toby And Ross Cardinal

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today is a sad day for me and many Dene people in and around Yellowknife, especially for Deninu Kue constituents and a lot of people from Detah. Mr. Speaker, this morning I just attended the funeral of the late Ms. Helen Toby. Ms. Toby was a very well-respected Dene elder who lived in Detah and she passed away after a long battle with cancer. I just want to send out my sincere condolences from everyone here in the Legislative Assembly to all the family, friends and relatives and the many, many, many friends of Helen Toby. Our prayers go out to them all.

Mr. Speaker, only a week ago I mentioned in the House the passing away of one of my constituents, Ms. Lorna Norn of Deninu Kue, who was just laid to rest in Fort Resolution just this past Saturday. I was deeply saddened to hear on that same morning the passing away of yet another of my Deninu Kue constituents, Mr. Ross Cardinal. Ross died as a result of a single motor vehicle accident on Highway No. 5 on early Saturday morning. Ross is survived by his elderly mother, Ms. Dora Cardinal, his three brothers, his two sisters, his two sons, his two daughters, and his two grandchildren. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to send my deepest condolences again from this House to the families and relatives of the late Mr. Ross Cardinal, who will be very sadly missed by all residents of Deninu Kue and the people who knew him. Our prayers are with them also. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
