Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Kona
Lake
Country
well,
thank
you
honorable
speaker.
I
would
argue
that
every
member
in
this
house
is
a
leader
in
their
own
way,
but
I
want
to
honor
one
particular
leader
amongst
us.
Today.
I
would
like
to
recognize
an
incredible
Winery
in
the
Okanagan
Valley
after
receiving
their
Vineyard
certification
in
2022,
they
have
now
completed
the
necessary
requirements
to
also
obtain
their
estate
certification
from
sustainable
wine.
A
Growing
British
Columbia,
with
the
combination
of
these
two
certifications,
Mr
Speaker
I'm
honored,
to
share
that
they
are
now
the
sixth
Winery
in
BC
to
have
ever
achieved
full
certification.
This
is
a
Monumental
achievement
as
one
of
Canada's
most
prominent,
family-owned
and
operated
wineries
that
spans
three
generations.
A
This
certification
speaks
volumes
about
the
dedication
and
commitment
towards
sustainable
practices.
This
commitment
is
reflected
in
their
priorities
of
environmental
responsibility,
equity
and
economic
visibility.
Their
dedication
will
continue
to
the
overall
preservation
of
the
South
Okanagan
Valley
and
allow
many
others
to
grow
their
businesses
for
years
to
come.
Having
known
this
family
for
many
years,
their
dedication
and
impact
have
completely
blown
me
away.
Mr
Speaker
I
would
encourage
anyone
visiting
the
area
to
take
the
time
to
see
the
winery
firsthand,
while
enjoying
its
incredible
restaurant
and
Lakefront
accommodations.
