Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members. Mr. Speaker, I'm happy to report that Monica and the Sissons Court Tenant Association are going to have a community centre. The Yellowknife Housing Authority is going to make a three bedroom unit at Sissons Court available for the tenant's association's use. The arrangement has been made for a six month trial period only, but there is good reason to believe that this community centre can really work for Sissons Court.
The creation of the tenant association alone, last spring, has had positive results. According to the Housing Authority, there has already been a considerable decrease in vandalism in the neighbourhood in the past six months. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Yellowknife Housing Authority, the Honourable Don Morin and the NWT Housing Corporation for recognizing the importance and value of this project and allowing it to proceed.
I would like to thank the Social Services area office for their help and support. And most of all, I would like to congratulate Monica Fusick-Leonard is on her initiative and her can do spirit. Mr. Speaker, she has set an example for all of us.
---Applause
