Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I am pleased to announce two positive events which have occurred in the community of Rae Lakes. The first is that on March 21st, the Department of Transportation, in partnership with Nav Canada opened a Community Aerodrome Radio Station, also known as CARS in Rae Lakes. The CARS will provide weather and communication service to aircraft operating around the Rae Lakes airport. The goal of CARS is to provide both employment and service to local people.
The second event which I would like to recognize is that two residents of Rae Lakes have just graduated from the Observer Communication Program in Fort Smith. In this nine week course, Nancy Zoe and Priscilla Wetrade learned weather observation skills and radio communication procedures. I would like to congratulate Nancy and Priscilla for completing the training needed to work at the CARS. It is great to see local people taking the initiative to get the training they need for local jobs. It makes us stronger as a region. I wish these women every success in finding employment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
