5th Session
41st Parliament
A
Thank
You
mr.
Speaker
I
rise
to
congratulate
Nanaimo
high
school
graduates.
Cope
in
nineteen
has
presented
new
challenges
to
our
province
that
we
could
never
have
seen
coming
and
students
here
have
risen
to
this
challenge
and
met
it
with
great
heart.
So
congratulations
Nanaimo
high
school
students
who
graduated
in
a
global
pandemic.
Who
else
has
ever
done
that
you
overcame
a
lot
this
year?
A
This
is
the
year
they
had
a
record
a
learning
alternatives
had
a
two-day
event
to
space
out
the
students
for
physical
distancing
and
their
principal
Chad
Jo,
who
some
of
you
might
remember
as
a
word
winner,
he
and
and
some
of
his
fellow
teachers
are
recognized
by
the
premier
for
teaching
excellence.
This
was
his
take.
He
said
students
came
out
in
their
regalia
and
were
honored.
They
really
got
their
moment
on
stage.
All
the
staff
was
cheering
we
needed
lozenges.
A
After
all
that,
but
our
hearts
were
full,
our
valedictorians
were
amazing,
Shila,
a
the--from
held
south
nation,
given
moving
tribute
to
her
peers
and
her
ancestors.
That's
the
end
of
his
quote,
but
just
a
testament
to
how
proud
and
Nanaimo
teachers
are
of
their
of
their
students,
always
but
especially
what
they've
overcome
this
year.
A
While
our
government
has
been
working
really
hard
to
keep
people
safe
and
protect
health
and
homes
and
livelihoods
during
the
pandemic,
and
as
we
recover
as
a
province
from
Kobuk,
19
students
finished
an
extraordinary
year,
special
thanks
to
the
parents,
the
school
staff,
all
of
them.
The
volunteers,
who
worked
especially
hard
to
make
grad
and
prom

year,
were
thankful
to
all
of
you
and
proud
of
all
of
you.
