Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
study,
white
rock-
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
I
want
to
follow
up
on
the
on
the
words
of
my
colleague,
the
member
of
chilliwack,
and
I
want
to
speak
on
the
semiyamu
house
society.
It's
a
nonprofit
organization
located
in
surrey,
white
rock.
It
exists
to
provide
quality
services
and
support
to
people
with
disabilities
and
their
families
in
the
community.
A
A
They
believe
that
all
people
have
the
right
to
control
their
own
lives
through
personal
choices,
about
relationships,
jobs,
living
arrangements,
spirituality,
traveling
and
recreational
activities,
and
that
all
people
have
the
right
to
give
back
to
their
communities
through
volunteering
and
helping
others.
Everyone
is
entitled
to
live
a
happy
full
and
meaningful
life.
A
Many
members
of
the
samyama
house
are
people
that
I
grew
up
with
people
that
I
worked
with.
I
went
to
school
with,
and
it
is
so
heartening
to
see
them
in
our
community
giving
back
each
day
when
you
come
to
white
rock
and
visit
one
of
our
small
businesses,
you
may
encounter
a
friend
from
semi
emo
house,
one
employer
told
me.
The
single
best
decision
she
has
made
was
hiring
an
individual
from
the
society.
