Member for caribou chilton. Thank you, mr speaker. Today I have the privilege of speaking about the incredible wilbur saunders. It is a rare occasion to find someone who will give the kind of time to enhance the community that wilbur contributes he's been acknowledged as a rotary, daybreak honorary parade marshal and has been recognized as a community hero. His almost daily commitment to making our community a better place is incredible and it does not go unnoticed. Mr speaker, wilbur has for years in his retirement picked up garbage throughout our community.

Very often, he will share pictures of his accomplishments on facebook, highlighting his thousands of steps taken during the course of his day, along with scenic pictures and beautiful photo photos of local wildlife in our parks and, of course, pictures of the bags upon bags of trash that he has collected.

He will often show images of the type of trash he has had to collect and pick up. Mr speaker, he'll show images of recyclables fast food, wrappers and cups and of course, the most recent addition to his picking is face masks.

Unfortunately, mr speaker, I have rarely seen wilbur post that he has picked up less than a few big bags of garbage in a day. He sadly never is short on work, but he does it willingly and, mr speaker, he doesn't just pick up garbage once in a while, but rather multiple days per week. Fortunately, for all of us in the caribbean chilcotin, we have wilbur as a community member. Mr speaker wilbur asks for nothing in return. Well, that's not true. He asks that you don't litter, but other than that he does.

This incredible volunteer work out of the goodness of his heart and commitment to improving our community and for no other reason from all of us in caribou, chilton and, of course, from all of us at the bc legislature. Thank you very much. Wilbur saunders.
