Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. This summer I had an opportunity to attend the graduation for Liidlii Kue School as usual. This year Sydney Bailey, Rayleen Norn, Rylie Chapman and Teagan Laroque graduated. The total number of students graduating since graduations events started in Fort Resolution in 2000 is 53 students. Every year I attend graduation and one year we had nine graduates and we’ve also had single graduates in Liidlii Kue School. So it’s gone very well.
In springtime I went to an event in Lutselk’e where we also had a graduation. For the first time ever in the history of Lutselk’e, they had two students, Tristin Lockhart and Lucas Enzoe, who graduated from Grade 12.
I just want to pass on congratulations here in the House to those students in Fort Resolution going all the way back to 2000. Many of those students are working in Fort Resolution and many of them have jobs outside. There are a good many of them that have gone on to further education and I think the same thing will happen with Tristin Lockhart and Lucas Enzoe in Lutselk’e. They are the first to do it and I know there are going to be graduates. We will probably see some graduates out of Lutselk’e every year from now on.
It’s a big milestone for the community. Just about everyone from the community came out to celebrate Tristin and Lucas. The Fort Resolution graduation is usually a big event. This year we had 200 people show up. That’s over 40 percent of the population, so that’s a very big event.
I thought I’d like to stand up today and congratulate all those students. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Member for Tlicho, Mr. Lafferty.
