Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I wish to acknowledge a student in the Bachelor of Management program at University of Lethbridge in Alberta. Shermayne Menicoche has recently received a $2,500 scholarship from the NWT Chamber of Commerce. Shermayne was chosen out of 17 entries because the judges were impressed with the volunteer work that she did as a student. She has been an enthusiastic community volunteer and at Aurora College, where she also held student leadership positions. In addition, Shermayne also received a Dehcho First Nations scholarship that provides $1,000 a semester for one year.
Shermayne is a graduate of Thomas Simpson School in Fort Simpson and while working in Yellowknife, started taking evening courses at Aurora College. She completed her diploma in Management Studies in Fort Smith in April.
I am honoured to acknowledge my niece Shermayne Menicoche and wish her the best in her studies to complete her Bachelor of Management at the University of Lethbridge. Mahsi.
