The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
caribou
chilton.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It
is
indeed
an
honor
to
rise
and
take
the
opportunity
to
commend
the
hundred
mile
house
district,
blind
and
visually
impaired,
white,
king
club
and,
of
course,
lori
frye,
who
leads
this
initiative
with
respect
to
the
efforts
to
protect
not
only
those
people
visually
impaired,
but
all
of
the
residents
of
100
mile
house
and
the
surrounding
area
also
their
most
recent
effort
will
see
visible
color
contrast
on
things
like
stairs
and
railings,
poles
curbing
and
curb
cuts
throughout
the
community.
A
The
white
cane
club
of
course
invites
all
businesses
and
residents
to
get
involved
with
this
initiative
that
will
undoubtedly
create
a
much
safer
and
brighter
downtown
core
for
all
of
our
residents.
All
the
while
increasing
accessibility,
helping
to
remove
barriers
and
reducing
the
risk
of
injury.
The
white
king
club
points
out
prevention
is
the
best
way
to
avoid
injury.
Mr
speaker,
this
is
all
happening
in
100
mile
house
at
no
cost
to
business.
It
is
as
simple
as
reaching
out
to
the
white
cane
club
and
they
will
work
out
the
details.
A
They're
grateful
to
the
south
caribou
business
center
district
of
100
mile
house
and
the
south
caribou
chamber
of
commerce
for
the
supporting
the
initiative
already
and
while
it
has
been
delayed
due
to
the
pandemic,
they're
very
eager
to
get
started
again.
This
is
a
perfect
example
of
an
excellent
community
project
that
I'm
sure
all
of
our
community
will
support,
and
today
I
just
wanted
all
of
the
house
to
join
me
in
congratulating
the
100
mile
house
and
district
blind
and
visually
impaired
white
gain
club
on
this
fabulous
initiative
for
the
benefit
of
our
entire
community.
