Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as this school year ends, I would like to recognize and congratulate all those students from Hay River, Enterprise, West Point First Nation, and K'atlodeeche First Nation, who are graduating from Ecole Boreale, Diamond Jenness Secondary School, Chief Sunrise Education Centre, and Aurora College.
Mr. Speaker, we can all appreciate and acknowledge the commitment and sacrifice these students put in to achieve their status as graduates. That chapter has now closed, and it is time to take that next step, whether it is to further their education, join the workforce, or travel the world. It is only the beginning of their new journey.
Mr. Speaker, for each to achieve the status of graduate, we must also recognize the parents, caregivers, family, friends, and those teachers who, throughout the years, supported and encouraged each of them to succeed. I know that each graduate will look back and understand the importance of this achievement and, in turn, convey the importance of education to their children and others as they move forward in life.
Mr. Speaker, in closing, I congratulate the graduates of 2023 and wish them all a bright, successful, and healthy future. And, lastly, I would like to congratulate my granddaughter Inaaya who will graduate from grade 9 and now soon to be a high school student and any black hair I have left, will now be gray. Thank you, Mr. Speaker,
