Member’s Statement on Recognition of Sarah Jerome, Education Hall of Fame Inductee

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, would like to congratulate Sarah Jerome on her achievement today with the Education Hall of Fame. Mr. Speaker, Sarah was also my teacher while I was at Grollier Hall, and I'm sure she taught our Minister of Education, as well, but many, many people throughout the Delta, Mr. Speaker. She has also encouraged many of the teachers that we have today and worked very closely with all those that work with the Gwich'in language. Mr. Speaker, it's so important now because our language is at a critical state, and we need to encourage more of our youth and those that get involved in the Gwich'in language. And I'd just like to say on behalf of the all the people of the Beaufort Delta a big mahsi cho. Mahsi.
