ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 28-17(5): SARAH ERASMUS – SAIT POLYTECHNIC OUTSTANDING YOUNG ALUMNI

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise in the House to acknowledge my constituent Sarah Erasmus, a Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, or SAIT, Polytechnic Outstanding Alumni for 2015.

Through launching her own clothing company, Erasmus Apparel, she’s woven herself into the very fabric of Yellowknife and transformed an idea into a thriving business.

With eight employees, unique northern designs and a growing reputation, she’s sold more than 60,000 items through a storefront and online operations and proved that homegrown, sustainable businesses can thrive here.

I invite my colleagues to join me in congratulating Sarah Erasmus for a job well done.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Blake.
