MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON TEAMS IN HAY RIVER RELAY FOR LIFE CANCER FUNDRAISING EVENT

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to dedicate my speech today to the dedicated team in Hay River that is planning for the Relay for Life this Friday night and early into Saturday morning. The organizers have done a great job putting these teams together and fundraising a great deal of money for cancer research. I would like to thank all of the teams that have been doing fundraising for the last several months in Hay River. As I indicated, they will be walking around the Hay River track and field track overnight. They are dedicated and they have been working hard.

I would also like to share a little bit of a moment. My Dad was affected by cancer this year. He passed away. With that, I would like to wish everybody happy Father’s Day on Sunday as well. Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. The honourable Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.
