NOVEMBER 21 2019 Statements Linda Larson
A
Remember
for
boundaries
smell
committee,
Thank
You.
Mr.
speaker,
all
of
us
are
familiar
with
the
school
crossing
guards
that
are
out
early
every
school
morning
and
then
again
later
in
the
afternoon
to
help
our
children
cross
busy
roads
on
their
way
to
school
and
home.
Again
we
are
blessed
with
many
of
these
dedicated
volunteers
throughout
our
writings
in
the
community
of
Okanagan
Falls,
where
10th
Avenue
crosses
highway
97.
There
is
one
of
these
volunteers.
Her
name
is
rose
MA
or,
as
everyone
calls
her
Miss
Rose.
A
She
started
her
crossing
guard
volunteer
career
in
Vancouver
at
Strathcona
Elementary
in
the
Downtown
Eastside.
She
moved
to
Oakland
Okanagan
Falls
36
years
ago.
When
asked
what
she
enjoyed
most
about
her
crossing
guard
duties.
She
said
she
loved
seeing
the
kids
dressed
for
Halloween
or
other
special
days
like
pajama
day,
as
they
were
always
happy
to
stop
and
chat
about
their
costumes.
She
is
very
vocal
about
the
number
of
disrespectful
and
bad
drivers
she
has
seen
over
the
years.
A
She
represents
the
best
of
what
a
small-town
volunteer
is
not
just
once
a
week
or
once
a
month,
a
commitment
for
every
school
day.
No
exceptions:
this
is
miss
roses.
Last
school
year
of
volunteering
as
a
crossing
guard
for
Okanagan
Falls
Elementary,
she
has
seen
generations
of
children
safely
across
the
street.
She
has
stood
at
this
corner,
dressed
in
her
bright
orange
jacket,
holding
a
stop
sign
for
31
years.
I
know
there
will
be
community
celebrations
and
sadness
when
Miss
Rose
retires.
Next,
you
thank
you.
Miss
Rose.
