Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, good afternoon. I have been very busy for the past month or so attending various events to honour the achievements of Northerners. This includes the 50th anniversary of Aurora College, high school graduations, three Aurora College convocations, and the annual Territorial Showcase.
The Territorial Showcase involves northern students only, and I was very, very impressed with all the history projects that our young people presented at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, such a beautiful place to hold such an event. I would like to congratulate Madame Monique Marinier for her leadership and hard work to establish the Territorial Showcase, and I hope very much that it will continue even though she is retiring very soon.
I was also invited to present the Governor General Corrections Exemplary Service Awards to several NWT recipients, and I was so proud to take part in that event. Not to mention also, this morning, there was another beautiful ceremony that happened with the St. John's investitures this morning.
