A
Member
for
chelwak
kent.
Thank
you
honorable
speaker.
I
am
honored
to
speak
today
once
again
about
amazing
people.
In
chilliwackend
ten
years
ago,
zeeshan
and
guli,
as
her
friends
call
her,
came
to
canada
from
pakistan
and
they
chose
chilliwack
to
call
home
two
years
later.
They
live
in
the
promontory
area
of
chile,
kent
with
their
three
children,
and
we
are
incredibly
lucky
to
have
this
family
as
part
of
our
community.
A
At
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
They
noticed
a
difficulty
for
some
with
grocery
shopping.
They
offered
their
time
free
of
charge
on
weekends,
to
shop,
for
others
started
making
deliveries
and
were
overwhelmed
not
only
by
the
need,
but
also
by
gratitude
and
offers
to
help
the
community
came
together
over
facebook
and
soon
they
had
a
community
of
over
50
volunteers
and
donors
and
formed
the
kindness
chain.
Chilliwack
association
or
kcca
kcca
is
100
volunteer
and
not
a
single
dollar
is
diverted
from
project
goals.
A
Projects
like
seniors
outreach,
garbage
cleanups
in
the
chilliwack
river
valley
and
downtown
chilliwack
and
meal
deliveries
to
individual
homes,
as
well
as
a
local
shelter,
most
recently
for
easter
and
ramadan,
and
the
list
goes
on.
Their
motto
is
serve
the
community
we
live
in,
and
the
family
of
volunteers
that
is
kcca
are
making
our
community
a
better
friendlier,
kinder
and
more
generous
place
to
be
thanks
to
their
hard
work
and
contributions,
including
from
local
businesses.
