MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON APPRECIATION TO AKLAVIK RECREATION LEADERS
Today I’d just like to bring up a recreation leader in Aklavik, Mr. Dean McLeod and his staff, and what a good job they’re doing. To let them know that they’re doing, I guess you could say, an awesome job. This past weekend we attended the hockey school in Aklavik with my two sons with Andy Nowicki from the Red Deer Rebels, he’s a goaltending coach. Over the past four years we’ve been attending the camp and it’s only getting better. We’ve got about 30 to 40 children on the ice at all times. Just to let them know and to thank them for doing an awesome job. Dean, at the same time was holding a curling bonspiel where Mr. Krutko’s team was eliminated pretty quickly.

They did good, though. I’d like to thank Dean McLeod, Pat Kasook and the rest of the hamlet staff in Aklavik. I’d like to congratulate Dave McLeod and his wife Mina for the great weekend we had in Aklavik and also, congratulations to Dave McLeod’s team that took the A division curling title in Aklavik. If we had recreation leaders like that right across the Northwest Territories, we wouldn’t be hurting so bad for…Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
