Member from maple ridge mission well, thank you very much honorable speaker. Lately, we've really come to understand the importance of cooperation in our community and our communities. We are stronger together and today, I'd like to celebrate the maple ridge pit meadows, kc community network. This network was established in the 1990s and is made up of service providers, non-for-profits local and provincial government, reps business and community members, and they all work together to build a stronger society and today there's over 80 different organizations that participate in the network.

So it's impossible for me to name them all today, but they've accomplished so much together. Now the meetings allow participants to learn more about each other and what's happening in the community and a huge shout out to brenna ayliff who's recently finished her amazing term. As chair, the network also provides a structure for organizations of similar populations to come together and work together. Working groups of the network include the ridge meadows community children's table, which is coordinated by roberta o'brien.

The community literacy committee, uh which is coordinated by elaine yamamoto golden ears, feast, which is coordinated by the amazing candace gordon and the local immigration partnership team, coordinated by carolina.

Escha very pardon me and another group led by kim domore, stop overdose overdose ridge, meadows, community action team brings together service providers, government reps and those with lived experience to really come up with solutions that work in a local environment, and this approach has been adopted right across the province. So we're really proud of that.

The also active and passionate seniors network group, which is headed up by heather trelevan, is continually working to make the community more age friendly and having fun along the way. For example, they have a scooter rodeo where they have seniors that get to try out different mobility devices, which is a lot of fun. So having this community network in place has such a positive impact in our community and by working together, the participants of the network are contributing to the sustainability of maple ridge, pit meadows and kc communities. Thank you. So much.
