Member for north vancouver seymour good afternoon, mr speaker, I rise uh to speak to the house about something that I feel and my constituency feels is very important and that is we actually got a new high school. North vancouver has some very, very old, high schools that my father taught in actually, and we were very lucky that some time ago, argyll high school was slated to get rebuilt because it was not even close to seismically safe.

uh My two daughters attended argyle high school, and this conversation started. Oh while they were, one was in grade eight and one was well probably grade two by that point, and uh we had these conversations for many years. My daughters graduated in 2011 and 2016, and there was still not a new high school.

However, a shortly thereafter, uh the ground started to break and we started to see the beginning of structure, and now we have a beautiful brand new high school. That is purpose built, which is quite remarkable because in my day high schools were built to a plan that didn't usually include much beyond the planner.

And now this high school has included the administration, the students, the teachers, the families, the school board, everybody's had a say on on what was going on with this high school, and there is some amazing stuff there they've got remarkable digital media, etc.

The principal there is kim jonet another female that should well be recognized as one of our strong leadership females. She is compassionate.

She is a professional, she's, inclusive, creative, thoughtful and she's so open to a spectrum of ideas, and I want to congratulate her on seeing through the intense logistics of creating a new school out of an old one. You know getting everybody moved across happened between christmas and new year's. Don't you know now. My niece is also a teacher there. She does learning assistance in supporting kids uh to maintain the classroom and she had to move herself because of covet movers weren't allowed in.

However, I congratulate argyle secondary school, and I also congratulate kim jones for a job extraordinarily well done. Thank you very much.
