Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to pay a special tribute to one of my constituents, Betty Larke of Morden, Manitoba.
Betty has recently been awarded the 1994 Kinsmen community service award. She has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion auxiliary for 50 years. In 1985 she was awarded the jubilee medal and the meritorious award. Betty has also worked extensively with the Salvation Army's Red Shield Appeal, Meals on Wheels, the United Way, the community's senior home and her local church.
In this, the Year of the Family, it is very appropriate that we recognize Betty's dedication to her community and her respect for family and values.
Betty Larke has enriched the lives of many people in our community through her strong desire to help others. All Canadians can learn from her example.
