Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Opposition
house
leader,
thank
you,
honorable
speaker,
I
rise
today
to
celebrate
the
amazing
achievements
and
the
incredibly
important
work
being
done
by
the
Kamloops
Society
for
alcohol
and
drug
Services,
which
recently
rebranded
as
the
day
one
Society
for
50
years.
The
society
has
offered
hope,
help
and
healing
to
community
members
through
connection,
whether
that's
connection
to
detox
services
at
its
Phoenix
Center
facility
or
to
youth,
alcohol
and
drug
counseling
and
support
to
families
or
to
day
treatment
for
young
women.
A
They
are
there
for
people
at
the
start
of
their
recovery
journey
and
remain
with
them
every
step
of
the
way
their
new
name
day.
One
Society
was
chosen
after
engaging
with
the
community
for
its
input,
and
it
serves
as
an
umbrella
for
the
many
services
being
offered,
with
the
hope
that
these
Services
can
potentially
be
expanded
in
the
future.
The
new
name
is
also
a
reminder
that
recovery
happens
one
day
at
a
time.
Community
members
note
it
represents
the
possibility
of
a
fresh
start,
no
matter
what
the
society
says.
A
Honorable
speaker
I
want
to
congratulate
the
day
one
Society
led
by
executive
director,
Sean
Lewis,
the
board
of
directors
and
staff
members
who
are
working
day
in
and
day
out,
to
help,
counsel
and
support
those
who
often
have
nowhere
else
to
turn.
The
people
of
Kamloops
are
grateful
for
their
50
years
of
service
to
our
community,
and
we
all
look
forward
to
what's
ahead
as
this
organization
and
everyone
in
it
makes
a
huge
difference
in
the
lives
of
so
many
British
Columbians
in
the
years
ahead.
Thank
you.
