3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker,
so
good
to
see
you
back
and
everybody
recently
on
a
sunny
saturday
morning,
I
had
the
privilege
and
honor
to
participate
for
the
first
time
as
an
mla
in
the
annual
vernon
winter
carnival
parade.
It
was
a
heartwarming
to
see
so
many
people
being
so
happy
excited
cheering
on
and
clapping
with
enthusiasm.
A
For
the
past
62
years,
the
people
of
vernon
monashi
have
looked
forward
to
this
seasonal
event,
where
generations
of
families
and
people
of
all
ages
come
together
in
this
wonderful
community
celebration,
which
this
year
is
hosting
100
events
over
10
days.
Given
the
challenges
we
have
faced
over
the
past
two
years,
coming
together
as
a
community
is
more
important
than
ever.
In
these
times
of
struggle
and
uncertainty,
people
of
vernon
monashi
put
aside
differences
and
came
together
in
celebration.
A
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
thank
the
hard-working
volunteers
who
have
made
this
all
possible
for
gracefully,
navigating
and
adapting
to
each
and
new
wave
of
this
pandemic
and
continuing
this
tradition
in
a
safe
and
healthy
way.
Without
their
countless
hours
of
planning,
dedication
and
tireless
efforts,
the
vernon
winter
carnival
would
not
have
been
possible.
