Acknowledgement 26-18(3): Lyda Fuller – Order of the Northwest Territories Inductee

Merci, Monsieur le President. I rise today to acknowledge Frame Lake constituent Lyda Fuller, who received the Order of the Northwest Territories for the huge, positive impact she has had on the lives of NWT girls, women, and families. Over two decades, Lyda Fuller has led the YWCA NWT in its delivery of transitional housing; the introduction of the first Housing First Program; in programming to address intimate partner violence through research and treatment programs; the creation of a territory-wide network of women's shelters; and through the GirlSpace program. She is a leader, mentor, determined champion of the disadvantaged, and a tireless problem solver. Please join me in congratulating her on this celebration of her achievements. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
