Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we all know, the school in Old Crow was destroyed by fire. The evacuation of the school went smoothly without incident, and no one was hurt. I would like to commend the teachers and the students for carrying this out in a thoughtful manner. In the process of evacuation, the children and teachers left behind their boots, shoes, mitts, scarves, neck warmers, jackets, and parkas. Mr. Speaker, the Gwich'in in Mackenzie Delta are now gathering school supplies and clothing for the children of Old Crow. I have been informed that a charter will be departing to Old Crow with some supplies, clothing, tomorrow morning. The people of Fort McPherson will also be travelling to Old Crow to lend support to the teachers and students.
I would like to call on other communities in the Northwest Territories to donate any kind and welcome anything that can be dropped off at the Gwich'in offices in the communities of Fort McPherson, Inuvik, Aklavik, Tsiigehtchic. Communities can also send supplies and clothing to Chief Randal Tetlichi, Old Crow, Yukon, Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
