Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring the attention of the House to the accomplishments of Grace Pine, a constituent of mine. Grace Pine recently received the Saskatoon citizen of the year award for her contributions to Saskatoon.
Grace Pine has had a distinguished career, including the directorship of the laboratory at the Fort Qu'Appelle Tuberculosis Sanatorium and subsequently volunteering with the Saskatchewan Anti-Tuberculosis League. In 1967, Mrs. Pine helped to found the Saskatoon chapter of Save the Children Canada.
The volunteer organizations which have benefited from her time and support include the Saskatchewan Council for International Development, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, the Saskatchewan Environmental Society, and the Saskatoon Native Theatre.
A colleague wrote of Grace Pine that she has been a role model for many who believe that we live in a global community and that we have a responsibility to those who have less than we do. These are truly words by which we should all live.
