3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Skinner
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
the
kiliman
Community
Foundation,
serves
and
enhances
Kitimat
by
connecting
donors
to
community
needs
and
opportunities
by
bringing
donors
to
the
table,
they
are
able
to
formulate
and
realize
their
philanthropic
goals,
matching
their
interests
and
concerns
with
Community
needs.
A
The
foundation
takes
a
broad
view
of
what
a
community
is
and
what
it
needs
to
succeed,
using
its
grants
to
support
everything
from
shelters,
to
sustenance
and
to
care
for
those
most
in
need.
The
success
of
the
foundation
is
because
they
take
the
long-term
view
of
what
it
takes
for
community
building
by
assessing
the
needs
for
the
future
and
providing
opportunities
and
investing
in
Sustainable
Solutions,
helping
the
community
to
be
a
strong
and
resilient
place
to
live
work
and
play.
A
Just
recently.
The
foundation
held
its
43rd
aluminum
City
Telethon,
and
this
year
was
another
success
at
the
mount
Elizabeth
theater
in
front
of
a
full
crowd
that
included
food
trucks
and
a
grad
car
wash
the
day
could
not
have
gone
any
better
because
they
raised
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
to
support
many
local
organizations
and
programs.
Programs,
like
the
tempted
status
of
women
or
the
Delta
King
place
that
provides
a
listing
Assisted
Living
Services.
A
The
volunteers
that
spend
months
in
setting
up
this
telephone
truly
deserve
the
thanks
and
it
benefits
all
walks
of
life,
but
they
could
use
more
volunteers.
So
please
reach
out
to
this
foundation
and
help
with
their
incredible
work
that
they've
been
doing
for
43
years.
On
a
side
note
I've
hosted
co-hosted
this
Telethon
twice
in
my
first
year.
They
asked
me
to
do
30
push-ups
as
a
fundraiser,
which
I
felt
sore
for
after
a
few
days,
and
this
past
year,
they
asked
me
to
learn
how
to
waltz
I
prefer
push-ups.
