Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s my great pleasure today to recognize a resident of Range Lake, but he happens to go to school in the Frame Lake riding. Mr. Tim Riviere is up in the gallery here and I wanted to note Tim is a grade 7 student at William Mac. He is shaving his head for cancer for the fourth year in a row and it’s his second year as a Relay for Life team member. He is the team captain for the Relay Rink Rats. He’s been the top youth fundraiser for three years in a row and has raised over $9,600 in those three years. This year Tim wants to raise $5,400 to bring his four-year total to $15,000. I want to say that if anybody can’t get a hold of Tim and wants to give me the money, I’m happy to pass it on. I challenge all Members to assist him in his goal.

Tim is accompanied today by Ms. Bianca Jorgenson from the Canadian Cancer Society. She’s the revenue development coordinator within Yellowknife and she’s the backbone of the Relay for Life event.

Last but not least, Heather Riviere is accompanying Tim and Bianca, and Heather is our very own legislative officer here.
