Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Honorable
inter-carnival
parade,
it
was
a
wonderful
to
see
people
so
excited
happy,
cheering
and
clapping
with
enthusiasm,
while
watching
the
clothes
classic
cars
and
magicians
pass
by
the
flagship
event
kicks
off
one
of
my
community's
oldest
most
beloved
traditions.
For
the
past
63
years,
the
people
of
Vernon
monashi
look
forward
to
this
seasonal
event.
Their
generations
of
family
and
people
of
all
ages
come
together
in
this
wonderful
Community
celebration,
which
is
the
largest
Winter
Carnival
in
western
Canada.
A
Given
the
challenges
we
have
faced
over
the
past
two
years,
coming
together
as
a
community
is
more
important
ever
and
Vernon
Winter
Carnival
has
been
Beacon
of
light
in
these
times
of
struggle
and
uncertainty,
allowing
people
of
Vernon
monashi
to
put
aside
differences
and
come
together
in
celebration
once
again
this
year.
I
want
to
thank
take
the
time
to
thank
the
hard-working
volunteers,
who
have
made
this
possible
for
gracefully,
navigating
adapting
and
continuing
this
tradition.
A
Despite
many
challenges
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
without
their
countless
of
hours,
planning,
dedication
and
tireless
efforts,
the
Warren
and
winter
carnival
would
not
have
been
possible.
I
would
like
to
ask
members
of
this
house
to
please
join
me
to
thank
these
amazing
volunteers
and
our
community
for
demonstrating
what
is
possible
when
we
work
together
other
for
a
common
goal
by
putting
our
differences
aside.
Thank
you.
