The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
vernon
monashi.
Thank
you
honorable
speaker.
On
november
20,
I
had
the
great
honor
to
in
participating
in
100
days
out
to
the
games
ceremonial
torch
lighting
for
the
greater
vernon
2022
bc
winter
games.
This
important
milestone
marked
the
final
march
towards
bc
winter
games,
which
will
be
held
in
my
home
community
of
vernon
from
february
24
until
27..
A
This
will
be
the
first
multi-support
event
of
its
kind
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
I
want
to
thank
our
government
for
providing
financial
support
for
the
bc
winter
games
as
part
of
the
more
than
50
million
invested
in
bc,
support
sector
annually.
Mr
speaker,
standing
next
to
the
okanagan
indian
band,
chief,
byron,
lewis
and
city
of
vernon's,
mayor
victor,
along
with
community
members.
While
we
watch
the
inspirational
youth
athlete
riley
marchand
carry
the
torch,
pastor,
cheering
community.
It
is
a
memory
that
I
will
hold
dear
to
my
heart.
A
It
was
heartwarming
to
see
our
community
safely
coming
together
after
we've
been
going
through
fires
and
now
floods,
and
it
was
the
rail
ray
of
hope
there.
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
tremendous
efforts
put
forth
by
bc,
games,
volunteers
and
staff.
These
events
don't
happen
without
months
and
months
of
planning,
despite
the
obstacles
and
uncertainties
over
the
past
many
months
from
coved
fires
and
floods.
These
folks
have
worked
tirelessly,
never
losing
the
sight
of
their
goal.
A
They
have
had
to
pivot
change
and
rewrite
plans
countless
of
times,
but
their
dedication
and
passion
shown
through.
I
am
confident
that
greater
one
and
2022
bc
winter
games
will
be
a
great
success.
Mr
speaker,
I
would
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
vernon
winter
carnival
society,
which
invited
the
bc
games
to
participate
in
its
torch
lighting
in
carnival's
annual
light
up
event.
Please
join
me
to
thank
everyone
who
made
this
event
possible,
despite
what
people
in
bc
have
gone
through
and
giving
people
something
to
look
forward
to.
Thank
you.
