Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my Member's statement today is on the progress or future plans to complete the Fort Good Hope municipal arena complex. Mr. Speaker, construction renovations, as I understand, stopped a number of years ago on this facility. Residents are left in suspense, families, parents, leaders, on the future continued construction plans.
Mr. Speaker, sports and recreation facilities are essential in our small communities. These activities contribute to releasing the talents of our youth leading by examples to healthy living, expanding and participating at territorial and national tournaments, meeting and interacting with other students from other cultures. This collaboration certainly brought into the youth capacity.
Mr. Speaker, these facilities play an active role and are the backbone of our social fabric in the communities. You can particularly understand that in the smaller communities, in particular the ones that I serve, are limited access to the outside world by an allseason road plays a huge role in supporting what we have and currently have, which are limitations, but nevertheless are broadening our horizons by gathering at these facilities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And later I will have questions for the appropriate Minister. Mahsi.
Thank you, Member from the Sahtu. Members' statements. Member from Monfwi.
