Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to welcome yourself and my colleagues on your safe return to attend the Fourth Session of the 15th Assembly. Mr. Speaker, a number of special events have occurred recently in the Beaufort-Delta region that I would like to touch on today.
The Aurora College campus in Inuvik recently graduated 39 adults in various programs and I would like to congratulate Nellie Pokiak, Lena Pingo and Jenna Keogak.
On Friday, Mr. Speaker, May 27th, 2005, four students will graduate from the Helen Kalvak Elihakvik School in Holman. I would like to wish Robbie Inuktalik, Lori Ovilok, Fred Kataoyak and Tony Analak each success with their future endeavours.
At this time, Mr. Speaker, I would also like to thank Shaylene Lundrigan who represented the Nunakput region during the Youth Parliament. She did a very good job.
In closing, Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the mayor and council of Tuktoyaktuk, I would like to thank my colleagues on the Accountability and Oversight committee and the staff for holding the annual strategic planning meeting in my community and for taking the time to meet and talk with the residents of Tuktoyaktuk. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
---Applause
