A
Statements
by
members
members,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
I
was
very
much
looking
forward
today
to
introducing
Miss
Mrs
Chang's
grade
four
and
five
leadership
class.
They
they
were
planning
on
coming
today,
but
the
ferries
got
canceled,
unfortunately,
so
they
have
been
here
for
for
many
years
because
of
their
great
advocacy
for
real
acts
of
caring
week
as
Miss
Chang
Mr
Chang
puts
it
real
acts
of
caring
feel
good,
and
this
feeling
is
contagious.
A
Studies
have
shown
that
encouraging
caring
and
kindness
supports
mental
health
by
building
self-esteem,
decreasing
depression,
reducing
bullying,
Behavior,
encouraging
creativity
and
improving
cognitive
function.
Studies
have
also
shown
that
we
feel
happier
and
experience
a
greater
sense
of
belonging
when
we
are
caring
and
kind,
thus
helping
to
create
positive,
School
cultures
of
learning
and
connected
communities.
A
And,
although
they
couldn't
be
here
today,
they've
been
working
really
hard
doing.
Many
acts
of
caring
throughout
their
Community,
for
example.
Fundraising
and
putting
together
care
packages
for
animal
shelters,
as
well
as
placing
treats
and
kind
notes
on
desks
in
classrooms,
Recycling
and
helping
others
to
recycle,
helping
other
students
who
are
upset
in
playgrounds
connecting
with
seniors
even
during
covid,
who
felt
isolated.
A
And
also
clearing
snow
from
windshields
and
parking
lots
for
Shoppers,
and
even
though
they
can't
be
here
today,
Mr
Speaker,
their
efforts
are
very
much
appreciated
and
we
could
all
learn
a
lot
and
we
could
all
do
better
at
being
kind
on
a
daily
basis,
and
this
year
the
province
has
officially
declared
February
12th
to
18th
as
real
acts
of
caring
week
in
British
Columbia.
Thank
you.
