Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, on September 26th and September 27th there was a significant happening in Inuvik, where the town of Inuvik, its residents and people from the surrounding communities, the Beaufort and the Mackenzie Delta communities, had the opportunity to put its best foot forward and put on a show to impress the people from the Arctic Winter Games international committee, who visited the town to look at the facilities, the town itself, and assess the capabilities of the region to host the 1998 Arctic Winter Games. The town, residents and visitors from the surrounding communities did a bang-up job. There was enthusiasm, great spirit...

...and many, many people at all the events, including the parades, the demonstration of Arctic sports, the community feast - we had over 1,000 at the school -- and it was very impressive. Most of the members on the bid committee from Inuvik were also very impressed with the turnout. So on your desk, we have a little memento from Inuvik called, "Together We Can Make It Happen." It is the logo for the 1998 Arctic Winter Games. I urge you all to support Inuvik in its bid to host the games. Mahsi.
