I said I was going to talk about two events, not just one, but I only made it through the first one. Sorry.
On the subject of keeping our communities safe, I also had the opportunity to attend an evening of appreciation for our local RCMP. This event was organized by Terry Rideout and was attended by members of our Hay River detachment as well as the administrative branch office in Hay River. I’d also like to thank our new Minister of Justice, Glen Abernethy, for taking time on his weekend to come to Hay River to attend this RCMP appreciation event.
On behalf of the people of Hay River, I would like to thank the members of our volunteer fire department under the leadership of Chief Ross Potter, and the members of our Hay River detachment under the direction of Sergeant Scott Buchanan for all they do on and off duty to make Hay River the community that it is.
