Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
1st Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
prince
george
willmount
well.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
He
is
a
singer-songwriter
that
goes
by
the
name
penny
slim.
He
gets
that
name
because
he
was
born
in
penny
british
columbia
located
on
the
northeast
side
of
the
fraser
river
east
of
prince
george,
just
recently,
clarence
boudreau
aka
penny
slim
turned
90
years
old.
Well,
as
you
can
imagine,
we
were
all
very
disappointed
that
we
couldn't
give
clarence
the
big
birthday
celebration
that
he
deserves,
but
his
family
and
our
community
made
it
a
memorable
occasion.
A
Nonetheless,
clarence
started
playing
music
when
he
was
five
years
old
and
he
hasn't
stopped
since
he
has
written
many
original
songs,
including
one
about
the
2018
wildfires.
That
has
garnered
a
lot
of
attention.
The
smoke
was
unbearable
and
it
meant
that
clarence
and
his
wife
olga
were
stuck
inside
because
they
were
sick
of
the
thick
smoke.
A
A
That
will
be
another
memorable
event
that,
as
they
celebrate
their
anniversary
in
july
of
this
year,
the
first
song
that
clarence
ever
wrote
was
a
ballad
called
full
moon,
and
it
was
a
tribute
to
his
wife
olga
the
words
go,
something
like
this:
full
moon,
full
moon,
I'll
be
humming
the
tune
as
we
walk
hand
in
hand
by
the
river
clarence.
We
want
to
recognize
your
milestone
birthday,
the
incredible
story
of
your
love
for
olga
and
the
gift
you
are
to
our
community.
