The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
A
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
In
the
cariboo
chilton,
we
are
blessed
to
have
a
number
of
volunteer
organizations
at
the
heart
of
every
community.
In
my
riding
we
are
even
more
blessed
to
have
such
highly
dedicated
people
who
work
quietly
behind
the
scenes
to
make
life
better.
They
spend
a
great
deal
of
precious
time:
organizing
festivals,
sporting
events,
art
displays
and,
of
course,
rodeos.
Just
to
mention
a
few.
A
These
volunteers
and
their
organizations
pour
a
great
deal
of
effort
into
defining
a
lifestyle
that
local
residents
and
visitors
alike
can
enjoy
come
winter
spring
summer
and
fall
for
a
region
that
also
depends
on
tourism.
These
organizations
not
only
provide
social
opportunities
but
strong
economic
ties.
Too.
Tourists
come
from
farm
wife
to
take
partake
in
our
famous
williams
lake
stampede,
youth,
take
part
in
junior,
a
and
b
hockey,
and
even
a
few
old
timers
take
to
the
ice
once
in
a
while.
A
There
are
ball
tournaments
soccer,
tournaments,
seniors,
indoor
bowling
fall
fairs,
car
shows
mountain
biking,
hiking
camping
fishing,
just
a
few
more
and
even
garlic
festivals.
There
is
a
lifestyle.
Caribou
children
can
accommodate
anyone.
Unfortunately,
the
sealed
vip
pandemic
spares
no
community
and
many
annual
events
have
had
to
be
canceled.
This
is
disappointing
to
the
public.
A
Volunteer
organizations
have
been
hard,
however,
the
people
of
the
cariboo
chilton
face
everything
from
wildfires
to
flooding
and
they
know
how
to
display
resolve
in
the
face
of
adversity.
Many
are
highly
innovative.
Like
the
williams
lake
stampede
and
rodeos
association,
they
put
a
drive-through
breakfast
on
on
canada
that
day
and
donations.
Only
this
weekend
august,
the
third
to
celebrate
bc
day.
The
100-mile
wranglers
hockey
team
will
be
holding
a
drive-through
barbecue
all
served
in
style
by
donation.
