MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WISE WOMEN 2012
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I was very happy to read in the Inuvik Drum yesterday, recognition of the Wise Women Awards, specifically a former worker, Greta Sittichinli. Mr. Speaker, we’re all here because of women in our lives that have supported us, that have encouraged us, motivated us. Women that are our mothers, our sisters, significant others, so that we can be sitting here today and assisting and leading the people of the Northwest Territories in providing good programs and services.
I’d Like To Take This Moment To Recognize One Of Those Women: Greta Sittichinli. I’ve worked with her. She’s done a lot of good work, she’s one who has overcome adversity, who is a single mother, who goes above and beyond to make sure that the people of Inuvik thrive, and are healthy, and have opportunity to succeed and to live, much like all the other award recipients across the Northwest Territories. She’s the go-to person who spends a lot of countless hours volunteering for the church so that people who are less fortunate get a chance to succeed.
Thank you, Mr. Moses. The Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Nadli.
