Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Remember
her
Courtney
East
now.
Thank
you
honorable
speaker
today.
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
speak
to
our
greatest
natural
resource
that
we
have
here
in
the
province
and
that
is
of
our
young
K-12
students
and,
more
specifically,
our
graduating
classes
across
the
province
in
Kootenai.
East
I
would
like
to
mention
the
six
graduating
classes
of
2023,
the
smallest,
but
perhaps
mightiest
class
will
be
from
Kootenai
Discovery
School
in
Fernie,
with
nine
wonderful
graduates,
Kootenai,
Educational,
Services
or
KES
will
have
13
bright
and
promising
students
walk
out
their
doors.
A
Time
flies
like
an
hour
like
an
arrow
Mr
speaker,
and
it
seems
Bittersweet
for
me
to
see
my
daughter
finish
this
part
of
her
life
that
my
wife
and
I
seem
to
be
in
so
much
control
of
I
know
she's
about
to
Embark
into
a
phase
of
her
life
that
is
independent
of
her
parents,
and
she
take
as
she
takes
on
the
world
as
a
strong,
intelligent,
beautiful
woman
that
she
has
become.
Life
will
be
scary
sometimes,
but
at
other
times
will
be
full
of
accomplishments,
love
and
Newfound.
Joy
words
of
advice.
A
If
I
may
live
your
own
life,
don't
compare
your
Beginnings
to
somebody
else's
middle,
be
positive.
Do
things
that
you
are
uncomfortable
with
appreciate
moments
with
those
you
love
less
stuff,
equals
more
freedom,
help
others
build
a
budget
love
yourself
before
loving
anyone
else
believe
in
yourself
and
most
of
all
have
fun
and
don't
life.
Don't
let
life
pass
you
by
to
my
favorite
daughter,
my
most
beautiful
daughter,
my
most
intelligent
daughter,
my
only
daughter,
congratulations
to
you
and
the
407
grads
of
2023
in
Kootenai,
East,
Jim
Ada.
