Member’s Statement On Recognition Of BDC Young Entrepreneur Award Recipient

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it’s not too often I get to stand up and get some good news out there. I’ll take this opportunity today to mention some good news for us here in the Northwest Territories, as well as for a constituent back in Inuvik.

Yesterday in New Brunswick the BDC honoured top young businesspeople from across Canada at the 19th Young Entrepreneurs Awards Ceremony. Out of the 19, the Northwest Territories was represented by one of our own out of Inuvik, Ms. Holly Norris.

---Applause

She started, along with her partner, a business called Delta Sun Services in Inuvik. It’s a catering business and started back in 2003. She saw the demand for those services grow, took over the concession contract at the local arena, and then as well, in 2005, purchased a restaurant and is doing great business in the community of Inuvik. So just to send a congratulation out to her and her family. Thank you.

---Applause
