Very green Timbers, Thank You mr. speaker, this spring has over 19 to Colden BC. The word changed before our eyes. The amount of new information shared with us during the early days of pandemic was at times overwhelming. We began to be asked to social distance to stay at home and watch overhangs. Often, a new announcements came every day about how communities, governments and everyone else was working to slow the spread of covert 19.

In order to start addressing the pandemic, we needed to begin to understand it and in my home city of serene understanding the pandemic, it's something we could not have done without the tireless work of our local media. Surrey is one of the most diverse cities in all of Canada, and our local media reflects the great diversity whether it's vibrant network of local Punjabi radio stations, our local papers, that publish in a multitude of languages all over dedicated multi-cut multicultural TV stations since the pandemic. They gained these media outlets.

Big and small have been working tirelessly to share public health information to audiences in Surrey, as we try to make sense of how to keep our families, our communities and ourselves safe about local radio stations, newspapers and TV stations work around the clock to bring important information to over communities. These outlets became yet another group of essential workers delivering important information to the community in multiple languages.

I want to look at nice series, media house hosts journalists, producers and staff for the incredible contributions they have made to Surrey during this pandemic to every local station and paper and city that has stepped up. Thank you for everything you have done and for everything you continue to do to help our community stay informed and stay safe during these challenging times. Thank you.
