Quyanainni, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize three high school graduates from Helen Kalvak school in Ulukhaktok.

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Jacob Klengenberg is graduating this year with full academic grade 12 and is accepted into a two-year Social Work Diploma at Nova Scotia Community College.

Mr. Speaker, Jacob is a role model to his peers. While earning an academic education, he still ensured that he maintained his cultural hunting, fishing, and travelling practices. During his years at Helen Kalvak school, he participated in many sports and activities, including judo, boxing, biathlon, and student council. He has been the lead youth volunteer for many years and has been willing to freely give of himself to help on school fundraisers, activities for younger students, and to help elders around the community.

Mr. Speaker, Matt Chloe Kanayok is graduating this year with full academic grade 12 and is accepted into a four-year Bachelor of Arts, planning on majoring in Psychology at Vancouver Island University. He is also the valedictorian for this year's graduation class.

Mr. Speaker, Matt has been a strong advocate for youth at Helen Kalvak school during his high school career. During his time, he took on the role of the president in the student council, and then immediately took over the planning and implementation of school dances, movie nights, an after-school art club, and the creation of the GSA. Matt is a genuine person, who wants nothing more than to help, and has been one of our most dedicated volunteers over the past three years.

Mr. Speaker, finally, Ms. Nadine Kuneluk is graduating this year with a full academic grade 12 diploma, but has not yet decided on her career path to follow. Mr. Speaker, Nadine is a joy to be around and enjoys nothing more than helping, spreading her optimism, and working with younger students. During her high school years, she was very active in the student council, assisting in the planning and supervising of every program that was offered. Nadine volunteered in almost all school activities and is dedicated to her fellow students.

Mr. Speaker, all three students are shining examples of true volunteerism. They gave up much of their time to ensure that their fellow students had activities and a safe space to spend their time. Without these students, the school's arctic espresso cafe would not have run. The student council would have not grown to where it is, and the GSA would not have been formed.

I cannot not say enough about these students, as they have been an amazing example of selflessness, wonderful role models, and respected by their peers and community members alike. Quyanainni, Mr. Speaker.
