Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
klonovest
well,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
speaker,
and
I
agree
with
the
previous
speaker.
We
need
more
brownies
in
the
legislature,
as
our
nation
focuses
on
canadian
hockey
teams
already
making
us
proud
at
the
olympics.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
the
phenomenal
hockey
being
played
here
at
home,
specifically
in
kelowna
west.
We
are
the
proud
home
of
the
west
kelowna
warriors
a
bchl
team
that
not
only
turns
out
exceptional
players
and
provides
our
cities
with
entertainment,
but
it
also
takes
time
to
invest
in
our
community.
A
The
team
is
committed
to
serving
west
kelowna
and
inspiring
a
new
generation
of
people
who
are
passionate
about
hockey
before
the
kovid
19
pandemic.
They
started
the
minor
hockey
mentorship
program
which
had
players
attending
youth
hockey
practices
and
working
directly
with
kids
with
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
Rather
than
shutting
down
operations,
the
team
decided
to
look
outwards
and
find
new
ways
to
serve
west
kelowna.
They
held
the
west
kelowna
community
night
in
which
they
donated
ten
dollars
to
west
kelowna
food
bank
for
every
order
over
thirty
dollars
at
twelve
participating
restaurants.
A
The
restaurants
had
a
much
needed
record
evening
with
a
total
of
678
orders,
resulting
in
a
6780
donation
to
the
food
bank
at
a
crucial
time
of
need.
They
planned
a
bottle,
drive
in
support
of
kidsport
west
kelowna
and
collected
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
worth
of
bottles
at
christmas,
and
they
provided
food
hampers
to
a
hundred
and
twenty
west
kelowna
families
in
need,
and
they
supported
numerous
local
non-profits
with
forty
thousand
dollars
in
funds
that
they
raised
over
the
course
of
the
pandemic.
A
You
see
the
warriors
are
not
just
a
successful
hockey
team
that
is
sending
13
players
with
division,
one
ncaa
scholarships,
but
has
produced
six
players
that
have
gone
on
to
the
nhl
and
with
tyson
jugno.
The
number
one
ranked
nhl
draft
pick
this
year.
They
are
also
a
powerful
force
for
good
in
our
community.
Thank
you
to
the
warriors
for
all.
You
have
done
for
west
kelowna.
