Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
1st Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
A
Today
we
would
usually
be
gathering
on
the
south
lawns
of
the
bc
legislature,
where
the
last
alarm
fallen.
Firefighters,
memorial
monument
stands
unfortunately,
due
to
the
pandemic,
we
will
have
to
do
so
today.
Virtually
we
remember,
pay
our
respects
and
honor
the
professional
and
volunteer
firefighters
who
have
paid
the
ultimate
price,
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
while
performing
their
duty
to
be
there
for
the
rest
of
us.
A
We
pay
tributes
to
the
brave
men
and
women
who
answered
the
call
and
did
their
jobs.
The
brave
men
and
women
who,
when
called
upon
and
faced
with
risk,
chose
not
to
hesitate
or
step
back
but
rather
chose
to
run
towards
the
danger.
Tragically,
they
did
not
come
home
to
their
loved
ones.
Like
my
dad
was
able
to
do
with
me
in
their
memory.
Let
us
all
come
together
to
do
everything
we
can
to
make
the
firefighters
occupation
and
workplace
as
healthy
and
safe
as
possible.
A
Let
us
do
that
so
that
no
more
lives
are
lost
and
no
more
families
suffer
the
loss
of
their
loved
ones.
While
working.
I
thank
every
firefighter
back
in
kamloops
and
across
our
province
for
their
service,
and
it
is
with
great
pride
that
we
honor
today
and
every
day
each
and
every
fallen
firefighter.
