Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wanted to draw the attention of my colleagues here to a celebration that took place in Fort McPherson on Friday, which I did not have the opportunity to attend because of some other factors here in this Assembly. Mr. Speaker, we have another elder who has reached the century mark. Bella Alexie turned 100 years old on Friday.

---Applause

I do not really know what it is, Mr. Speaker, that we feed our people in Fort McPherson, but it seems that they eat properly because they live a long life. We are one of the very few communities that seems to continually celebrate individuals and elders who turn 100. For that we are fortunate, but I do want to say that this elder is also the sister of a recently deceased lady by the name of Charlotte Vehus who was 96 years old. I wanted to draw your attention to the celebration that took place. I want to thank Robert Alexie Sr., who is the sub-chief, and the son of Bella Alexie, who invited me to the celebrations, but again, I was unable to attend. I just want to say congratulations to Bella Alexie. I know that her family, Ann Walter, Robert, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren and probably her great-great-grandchildren all would want me to say how proud we are of the elder, Bella Alexie. I would like to thank the chief in council, the mayor, and the hamlet council and all those who participated in preparing for the festivities that took place. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
