Member’s Statement on Completion of the Willow River Bridge Project

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, many times in this House I have thanked the Department of Transportation for providing funding to the community of Aklavik for the Willow River project. Over the last two years, we have received funding from the department to purchase a bridge to put in place at Willow River. This bridge is now actually on site, but now the community needs funds to have this bridge in place and operational. The community is looking forward to the completion of this project so we can open up opportunities for tourism and also the community to go to have picnics or go hunting, more recreational activities for the community. I will have more questions for the Minister later today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Masi. Members’ statements. Member for Sahtu.

Good morning, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to discuss in my Member’s statement here the daycare building in Norman Wells. It's a beautiful building contributed and donated by the Town of Norman Wells, the private sector, and the territorial government. It has since provided a meaningful service to the working parents, a vital component to the working class community of Norman wells, and a huge contribution to the child welfare side of the community. Today I will be addressing that concern to the Minister of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. Thank you.
