Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I want to acknowledge the 2022 graduating class of Fort Smith's PWK High School. Yesterday the grad class had their convocation and tonight they will have their grad dinner.
I was unable to attend the grad ceremony as I'm here for session. However, I did send some remarks be read at the ceremony on my behalf.
On behalf of the community of Fort Smith, congratulations to all of this year's graduates for your hard work in reaching this point in your academic careers. I wish all students well in their future endeavours.
In addition, Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize all the students who came to the Legislative Assembly for Youth Parliament two weeks ago; particularly, I want to recognize the youth parliamentarian who represented constituency of Thebacha and the community of Fort Smith, Naomi Reimer.
Thank you for your participation in youth parliament. I was very happy to see Fort Smith well represented.
Furthermore, Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the serious incident that took place in Fort Smith in March. I know that Fort Smith is still dealing with the traumatic events that took place during that time. I want to encourage all my constituents to please continue to support each other, but especially the grieving family who lost a loved one. I also want to acknowledge the multiple other deaths of other community members who have passed away from various sources over the past few months.
Our community has experienced many losses in such a short time. So I want to acknowledge this and offer my support and condolences to all affected families and friends of people who passed away in recent months.
Lastly, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank all the amazing constituents of Thebacha for all their continued support and for their attendance at my recent constituency meeting.
Thank you as well to my community team, who are always ready to support and advise me on issues most important to my community. You know who you are. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Member for Thebacha. Members' statements. Member for Hay River South.
