The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Kelowna
West
well,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
I
rise
in
the
house
today
to
congratulate
the
mount
bushery
Bears
robotics
team
number
8338,
led
by
their
teacher
mentor
and
Coach
Mike
Belanger
of
West
Cologne
on
their
second
place
finish
at
the
Canadian
Pacific
regional
qualifier
in
Victoria.
The
Bears
from
Mount
bushery
is
a
15
member
member
team
of
eight
girls
and
seven
boys.
This
event
is
one
of
the
largest
High
School
level
robotics
competitions
in
the
country
with
over
36
teams.
A
The
team
had
their
flight
to
Victoria
canceled
at
the
last
minute,
due
to
an
island,
weather
or
snowstorm,
which
many
of
us
frequent
or
remember
that
so
the
parents
in
school
of
administration
rallied
together
and
committed
to
making
the
12-hour
Journey
over
the
coquihela
then
across
the
ferry
just
to
get
there
in
time
for
the
competition.
This
gave
them
almost
no
time
to
reassemble
and
test
their
robot
before
the
competition,
but
the
team
persevered
and
made
it
through
to
the
finals.
A
The
Bears
would
like
to
highlight
the
contributions
and
support
of
their
school
principal
Scott
sieben,
as
well
as
the
local
Community
Partners
Discovery,
digital
forensics
safety,
now
Sendak
railings,
MinGa,
West,
Kelowna,
Fire,
Rescue,
Union
and
Summit
survey
or
land
surveying.
The
team
is
grateful
for
their
sponsorship
and
would
have
not
been
able
to
compete
without
their
support.
So
will
the
house
please
join
me
in
congratulating
the
mount
bushery
Bears,
robotic
teams
on
their
impressive
second
place
finish.
Thank
you.
