Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, earlier today Ms. Thompson announced the 1997 NWT Outstanding Voluntary Service Award which was presented to Mr. Alan Falconer of Yellowknife. I would also like to recognize another Yellowknife gentleman who in this past week also received a very prestigious award. The award, Mr. Speaker, is known as a Paul Harris award, sponsored by Rotary International. Rotary International is a voluntary service club with over 75,000 clubs in every country of the world except China. It has over one million members. The recipient of the award was Mr. Tony Whitford who is well known to a lot of the residents of the NWT. This award has been presented to rotarians and non-rotarians over the past number of years and the recipients presently stand at around 6,000 members. Other recipients of the award, Mr. Speaker, were the Reverend and Mrs. Bailey from Yellowknife, Mr. Barb Bromley and Alan Falconer also received this award a number of years ago. Mr. Speaker, I would ask you to join with me and other Members in congratulating Mr. Tony Whitford on the award.
