Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I had the opportunity earlier today to participate in the Education Hall of Fame inductees ceremony here at the Great Hall. I’d just like to acknowledge and recognize the nine recipients this year, or the nine inductees I should say, but also congratulate anyone who got nominated for this very prestigious, significant recognition.
I did have an opportunity, as I mentioned, to speak with Marja and I asked her if she would like me to say anything on her behalf and if there was any recognition that she would like to give to other people who made her who she is and helped her do the job the best that she can. She did mention that in her work for the Council of Disabled Persons in Inuvik, she’d like to recognize and thank Billy Moore for all that she has taught him, in working with the Native Women’s Association recognizing over 300 women that she’s had the privilege of knowing, learning from, working with and for, as well as the late Bertha Allen who has supported her over 20 years in her role of doing the great job that she has done, and the love and guidance that she has received from people like Lucy and Jimmy Adams, Judy Lafferty and Mary Barnaby. She’ll always cherish the moments that she had with them, and working at the Aurora College and with GNWT and her former colleagues, and bosses, Ms. Miki O’Kane and Doug Robertson, for providing guidance, leadership and helping her do the job she did at the college. She’d also like to acknowledge and congratulate all the inductees into the Education Hall of Fame and recognize their contribution to the education of our residents, whether it’s through academics, culture, traditions, or volunteering and for their ongoing support in the communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi.
Thank you, Mr. Moses. Member for Weledeh, Mr. Bromley.
