A
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
about
an
event
that
I
attended
last
weekend.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
Elder
Shirley
Alphonse
for
her
heartfelt
welcome
and
her
prayer
to
open
us
in
a
way
that
is
thoughtful,
inclusive
and
wise,
and
I
too
echo
my
colleagues
point
that
we
should
open
that
way.
Always.
A
This
past
weekend
it
was
a
venue
for
the
Halloween
hootenanny
that
was
put
on
by
Jazz
connections
directed
by
Christiane
Morrison
and
the
Sea
disguise
Wind
Ensemble
directed
by
Tak
maida
before
it
started.
I
spoke
with
David,
who
explained
to
me
how
the
gaming
grants
that
they
have
been
getting
over
the
past
several
years.
Allow
them
to
not
only
stage
exceptional
and
fun
concerts,
but
also
to
direct
the
proceed
proceeds
of
those
concerts
to
a
variety
of
Charities
and
groups,
and
this
time
it
was
for
the
amazing
Folks
at
North.
A
Shore
rescue,
as
he
spoke
I,
was
struck
by
the
Synergy
generated.
Within
this
event,
a
group
of
musicians
who
offered
their
skills,
training
and
time
to
create
joy
in
our
lives,
who
are
fundraising
for
a
group
of
volunteers
who,
in
turn,
offer
their
skills,
training
and
time
to
provide
increased
safety
on
our
mountains
through
the
North
through
search
and
rescue
on
our
North
Shore
mountains
and
Beyond.
