Thank
You
honorable
speaker
during
the
most
difficult
weeks
of
the
coronavirus
induced
state
of
emergency
in
British
Columbia,
a
person
would
have
been
forgiven
for
curling
up
into
a
ball
and
hiding
in
the
closet.
Things
were
looking
grim
and
life
as
we
knew
it
had
been
taken
apart
at
the
seams
and
yet
all
across
the
North
Shore.
The
community
instead
chose
to
rise
up
and
tackle
the
challenge
together.
A
Mr
Speaker
I
am
so
proud
of
the
way
that
North
Vancouver
came
together
in
closed
ranks
against
Cova
19
and
some
among
us
really
stepped
out
in
front
to
find
extra-special
ways
to
contribute.
Zen
maker
lab
in
North
Vancouver
offers
innovative
science,
technology,
engineering,
art
and
mathematics
or
steam
programs
for
kids,
youth
and
adults,
but
when
kovin
19
hit,
they
could
no
longer
teach
people
in
their
labs
anymore,
so
they
quickly
retooled
turning
their
teaching
lab
into
a
manufacturing
shop.
A
Their
staff
normally
engaged
in
teaching
young
people
to
be
innovative
and
creative,
with
science
themselves,
began
to
prototype
design
and
produce
innovatively
design,
personal
protective
equipment,
printing
them
on
their
workshop
filled
with
3d
printers
and
donating
reusable
face
shields
to
local
hospitals.
James
luster
runs
distillery
in
North
Vancouver
called
the
sons
of
an
Coover.
A
He
immediately
recognized
that
a
shortage
of
hand
sanitizer
in
North
Vancouver
was
affecting
care
facilities
and
first
responders
and
reached
out
to
my
office
in
March
to
offer
his
services,
along
with
some
quick
footwork
by
the
Attorney
General,
to
allow
distilleries
to
produce
sanitation
grade
alcohol
sons
of
Vancouver
was
not
just
producing
hand
sanitizer,
but
giving
it
away
for
free
to
members
of
the
public
and
organizations
across
the
region.
They
also
partnered
with
local
grocers,
to
sell
bottles
of
hand
sanitizer
to
raise
money
for
Lions
Gate
Hospital,
the
best
part
of
it
all.
A
They
also
sell
vodka.
Honourable
speaker,
these
are
two
of
just
just
two
of
countless
examples.
Countless
stories
of
people
who
have
been
stepping
up
to
help
their
neighbors
in
North
Vancouver
and
across
British
Columbia
I
hope
that
the
house
will
join
me
in
once
again
thanking
them
all
for
their
leadership.
Thank
you.
