Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
sandwich
in
north
and
Islands
yeah,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
I
was
elected
in
central
Senate
in
November
2008,
and
that
night
I
received
a
phone
call
from
Dennis
Copeland
now
I
was
a
counselor
elect
Dennis
wasted,
no
time
to
introduce
me
to
the
important
work
that
he
and
hundreds
of
volunteers
had
been
doing
to
protect,
enhance
and
repair
our
Wetlands
Creeks
streams
and
shorelines
of
the
Saanich
peninsula.
A
We
met
for
a
drink
at
the
Prairie
Inn
Dennis
was
the
first
person
I
met
in
my
new
role.
He
was
there
to
shamelessly
Lobby
me
on
behalf
of
the
peninsula
streams.
He
was
direct.
They
needed
me
to
support
their
request
for
a
grant
and
aid
and
over
the
years,
I
grew
to
know
Dennis
as
a
friend,
a
passionate,
Advocate
and
activist
defending
biodiversity
and
Dennis
was
a
voice
that
nature
doesn't
have
his
involvement
in
the
Hague
and
Qantas
Watershed.
Working
closely
with
my
Satanist
relatives.
A
A
When
I
became
the
MLA
Dennis
emailed
me
to
ask
about
dates
for
the
Saanich
Inlet
Roundtable,
making
sure
he
coordinated
the
voices
of
the
Saanich
Inlet
so
that
they
could
be
heard
during
legislative
breaks.
I
want
a
date
when
you're,
not
in
the
legislature,
so
you
don't
have
an
excuse
to
miss
the
round
table.
He
wrote
To
Me,
whether
it's
fiercely
defending
the
Saanich
Inlet
stream,
keeping
Shore
keeping
restoring
Wetlands
removing
invasive
species.
Dennis
Copeland
was
a
driving
force
on
the
ground
and
around
the
table.
