Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Richmond
Steveston,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker,
one
of
the
very
best
things
about
being
an
MLA
is
celebrating
and
commemorating
important
events
in
our
communities.
Communities
aren't
made
of
like
houses
and
buildings,
they're
made
out
of
homes
and
people
coming
together
in
service
and
companionship.
I
recently
had
the
opportunity
to
celebrate,
with
Gulf
of
Georgia
volunteers,
with
staff
board
members
and
Community
leaders.
For
those
who
don't
know
about
the
Gulf
of
Georgia
Cannery,
it
was
once
a
fully
working
Cannery
supporting
steveston's
fishing
Community.
A
Today,
it's
a
Historic
Landmark,
that's
been
updated
with
interpretive
signage,
historic
artifacts
and
engaging
programming
for
students
and
the
public
Gulf
of
Georgia
volunteers
are
dedicated
in
giving
back
to
the
community
and
being
part
of
a
hub.
That
brings
our
neighbors
together
I'd
like
to
recognize
all
the
different
ways
that
volunteers
contribute
with
a
special
nod
to
board
members
kit,
Joan,
Susan,
Ryan
and
Perry,
who
are
also
volunteers
and
Senior
staff.
A
Elizabeth
and
Rob
I
was
also
honored
to
be
invited
to
the
by
it
to
commemorate
Holocaust
Remembrance
Day
with
the
Jewish
Community,
including
survivors
of
the
Holocaust.
It
was
a
solemn
and
deeply
moving
event
where
we
heard
part
of
a
Child
Survivor
story.
We
all
share
the
responsibility
all
of
us
here
and
across
British
Columbia
and
Canada
to
honor
those
who
perished,
those
who
survived
and
those
that
risked
everything
to
save
others.
We
can
never
forget
what
happens
when
hate
is
allowed
to
spread.
A
Anti-Semitism
hate
and
discrimination
have
no
place
in
our
society
by
remembering
and
importantly
taking
action.
We
commit
to
never
again,
so
thank
you
to
community
leaders
for
organizing
such
an
important
event.
In
particular,
I'd
like
to
thank
Michael,
Sachs,
Keith
ledke
and
rabbi
varnai
every
day
that
I
spend
in
my
community
of
Richmond
Steveston
I
am
grateful
for
people
who
are
extending
care
and
connection
to
the
people
around
them.
They
are
the
reason
that
we
are
so
fortunate
to
call
this
place
home.
Thank
you.
