Member’s Statement on Best Wishes to NWT Athletes Participating in 2016 Arctic Winter Games
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge all of the youth participating in the Arctic Winter Games to be held in Nuuk, Greenland from March 6 to 11, 2016. The 2016 Arctic Winter Games is not only an athletic competition, but also an international circumpolar celebration, which provides an opportunity for our youth to develop new friendships, talk about the wonderful assets of the Northwest Territories, and learn about other cultures. I'm extremely proud that 21 of the participants are residents of the Range Lake riding, and no matter how each of them does, it's an honour that they're going to the games representing our community and the NWT as a whole. I cannot emphasize enough how proud I am of all the youth participating in this event. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
