From YouTube: OCTOBER 21 2021 Statements Ian Paton
Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
A
Then
it
was
agreed
that
sageview
ranch
in
kamloops
would
be
the
best
up
country,
location
for
hundreds
of
needed,
bales
of
hay
to
be
dropped
off
delta
farmers,
danny
cheryl
and
scott
harris
were
the
first
to
step
up
with
the
offer
of
300
bales
of
hay.
My
next
call
on
a
sunday
morning
was
to
mike
woolson's
trucking
company
in
ladner
to
ask
a
favor
in
which
mike
said,
I'm
all
in
to
donate
the
trucking
and,
coincidentally,
he
had
an
empty
truck
heading
towards
kamloops.
That
night.
A
However,
where
would
I
find
bodies
to
load
up
300
bales
of
hay
on
a
sunday
afternoon
in
july
in
34
degree
heat?
Incredibly,
after
a
few
quick
phone
calls,
I
had
14
farmers
show
up
in
an
hour's
notice
to
get
the
truck
loaded,
so
this
initiated
further
community
engagement
from
farmers,
joe
and
peter
vipatic
and
morgan
thompson,
who
stepped
up
the
following
week
with
600,
more
bales
of
totally
donated
hay
along
with
two
more
trucking,
runs
to
kamloops
by
mike
wolsen
and
labor,
donated
by
good
samaritan
delta
farmers
in
hired
hands.
A
Mr
speaker,
in
delta
south
I
boast
thousands
of
acres
of
bc's
best
potatoes,
blueberries
vegetables,
cranberries
and
dairy
farms,
but
what
I
boast
most
about
is
the
generosity
of
our
farmers,
to
step
up
with
donations
to
our
local
food
bank
donations
to
our
local
charities
and
donations
of
hay
to
stressed
out
ranchers,
whom
we
never
even
met.
Thank
you.
