Member’s Statement on Benefits of Youth Development Initiatives
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I want to recognize it in my statement the youth of our territory and region. Today, the 21 students from the Chief T'selehye School in Fort Good Hope are coming back from their trip from Edmonton, back to their home community after experiencing and touring some of the institutions that offer education, such as Grant MacEwan and NAIT. The exposure and the recognition for these individuals, the parents, and the community leadership, as well as a school staff, I want to recognize their hard work and efforts to making this a reality.
Also, this previous weekend, we had 120 students from right across the territory, and some from my areas well, participating in the Traditional Games Championships here in Yellowknife, and aside from that, there was the volleyball tournament. These functions really play a significant role in boosting the morale and the social fabric of this area. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
