Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am rising today to talk about the Hay River Homecoming that’s coming this June 28th to July 1st. Hay River invites all its former and current residents to stay in the community, come back to Hay River and enjoy the festivities that are being organized. It is a time for people that were in the fishing industry, people that worked for NTCL, NorthwesTel, GNWT, or just lived in Hay River to come back, experience Hay River and take part in this great event.
I want those former residents to look up on hayriver2013.ca. There’s a website there. You can register your name. They need to know who is coming. You can see some of the lists on the website of those people who have already signed up, who’s coming back to Hay River to see the community and take part in the events. There’s going to be a community fish fry, pancake breakfast, blessing of the fleet and, obviously, a Canada Day parade.
There are a group of people in Hay River right now that have been working for over a year planning this homecoming. It’s going to be a great event. I’d like to thank those people that have already put in their time and there will be a great many more that put a lot of effort into this event. I’m just reminding everybody that’s lived in Hay River to come back home to Hay River June 28th to July 1st, and please register at hayriver2013.ca.
Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. The Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Blake.
