MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON MONFWI RECIPIENTS OF THE QUEEN’S DIAMOND JUBILEE AWARD
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. [Translation] Mr. Speaker, I would like to make an announcement. At seven o’clock there will be an award given to four people here, and they are going to be receiving a Jubilee Award and it’s one of the top honours to receive.
The first one is Mr. Wah-Shee. He has worked for the GNWT. He was also an MLA and a Minister. He is now working with the Tlicho Government and has done lots of work for the Tlicho Government. He also started the Indian Brotherhood in the past, and he has worked on many things in the North. I want to make it known that he is one of the persons that wants to make it known that he has always supported the people in the Tlicho Government and GNWT. Now that we can see all the results that he has worked on, that is one of the reasons he is being recognized.
The other one is Mary Richardson. She is going to be recognized and is being awarded too. She is a foster parent and she is always an advocate for foster children. In the last 30 years, she has been supporting foster children in the community.
Michael Botermans is the other person. He is one of the persons that are always working with youth in the community and he has accomplished lots of things with the children. He is always the one that is leading with the children.
I just wanted to congratulate all those individuals who are going to be awarded this Jubilee Award.
