Thank
you,
Mr

Today,
it's
my
pleasure
to
recognize
a
woman
of
outstanding
generosity
and
initiative.
Elsa
Morris
passed
away
last
year.
However,
the
impacts
she
made
across
the
city,
Sky
Region,
will
live
on
born
into
a
German
family
in
Poland,
Elsa
survived
World,
War,
II
and
the
very
difficult
post-war
year.
She
worked
as
a
translator,
the
Canadian
Consulate
in
Hanover,
where
she
met
and
married
Dr,
Harry
Morris,
a
Canadian
physician.
A
She
also
made
available
a
secure
house
for
women
and
children
fleeing
domestic
violence.
Over
three
decades.
Mr
Speaker
Elsa
quietly
contributed
more
than
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
of
critical
funding
to
see
this
come
out
sky
community
services
and,
while
I
knew
Elsa
for
a
long
time,
I
only
learned
of
all
this.
After
her
passing
the
legacy
of
Elsa
Morris's
generosity
lives
on
Mr,
Speaker
and
individuals
and
families.
She
supported
she
changed
so
many
lives
for
the
better.
Thank
you
Elsa

thank
you.
Mr
