Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
victoria
beacon
hill-
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
what
a
date
to
rise
in
this
house
october
is
blindness
awareness
month
bringing
attention
to
the
realities
of
living
without
full
sight.
Last
week
was
ocd
awareness
week
to
increase
understanding
of
obsessive-compulsive
disorder.
International
brain
tumor
awareness
week
starts
later
this
month
this
year.
These
days
of
significance
hit
me
a
bit
harder
and
represent
a
year
of
challenge
and
resilience
for
my
family.
A
Like
many
of
my
colleagues
in
this
house
a
year
ago,
I
started
a
new
journey
representing
this
community.
I
love
it
was
a
learning
curve
how
to
do
the
work
in
this
house
to
make
life
better
for
people
in
our
province
and
then
in
february
my
son
was
diagnosed
with
a
brain
tumor
and
it
felt
more
like
falling
off
a
cliff
today.
Mr
speaker,
I
am
so
grateful
to
be
back
in
this
house,
and
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
express
my
gratitude.
A
A
Thank
you
to
the
other
critical
frontline
workers,
those
in
our
education
system,
as
they
too
continue
to
navigate
the
fourth
wave,
providing
care
and
education
in
our
communities.
They
somehow
found
extra
compassion
and
energy.
For
my
kids,
I
want
to
thank
miss
roberts,
heather
katie,
miss
mckeown,
miss
clifford
and
the
leadership
and
supports
at
george
j.
A
My
incredible
staff
here
at
the
legislature
and
in
my
community
office
continue
to
provide
support
and
information
and
connections
to
my
constituents,
so
a
thank
you
to
matt
and
andrew
and
katie
and
hannah
and
ang
and
britt,
and
to
this
house.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
their
messages
and
support
and
for
the
incredible
kindness
I
have
felt
from
all
sides
of
this
house.
A
I'm
so
grateful
to
be
here
with
you
and
to
be
back
representing
victoria
beacon
hill
in
this
chamber
with
a
final
note
to
those
parents
who
are
learning
how
to
care
for
and
support
their
kids
with
new
or
exacerbated
mental
illness
in
this
pandemic.
For
those
who
face
new
health
challenges
over
the
pandemic,
keep
going
you're,
not
alone.
Thank
you.
