Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
maple
ridge
mission
well,
thank
you
very
much
honorable
speaker
today.
I
wanted
to
share
that.
The
district
of
mission
has
elect
a
new
mayor-elect
on
saturday
april
24th
paul
horn
won
the
mayoral
by-election
in
a
landslide
victory
with
41
percent
of
the
vote.
I
have
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
paul
during
my
time
as
mla
for
maple
ridge
mission.
In
many
of
his
roles.
Paul
has
a
long
history
of
dedication
to
public
service
and
the
community.
A
Many
community
project
initiatives
in
mission,
especially
working
with
the
most
vulnerable
and
at
risk
in
the
community,
he's
one
of
the
main
organizers
of
the
stone
soup
initiative,
a
network
community,
a
network
of
community
groups
and
individuals
working
to
reduce
homelessness
and
poverty
admission.
So
it's
no
surprise
that
paul
was
the
recipient
of
the
citizen
of
the
year
award
in
2016
from
the
district
of
mission
and
paul
is
no
stranger
to
working
in
the
city
hall
from
2005
to
2011.
A
He
was
a
counselor
for
the
district
of
mission
and-
and
we
we
know,
mission
is-
has
a
unique
set
of
challenges
ahead,
because
it's
expected
to
double
in
size
over
the
next
10
years,
and
this
includes
work
that
has
to
be
done
on
the
mission
waterfront
representing
nearly
296
acres
of
land,
completing
the
much
needed
sewer
crossing
of
the
fraser
river
and
planning
infrastructure
needs
for
the
community,
with
roads
and,
of
course,
services
and
everything
else
that
that
growth
encompasses.
A
The
member
from
abbotsford
mission
left
big
shoes
to
fill
and,
but
I
know
paul
will
rise
to
the
occasion
with
the
job
in
front
of
him
and
on
my
on
my
behalf
and
on
the
path
of
the
member
for
aber
submission.
I'd
like
to
congratulate
mayor
luc,
paul
horn
and
very
much
look
forward
to
working
with
him.
Thank
you.
