Mr. Speaker, it is with both pride and humility that I congratulate Global Community Alliance, which held its fourth annual gala last Saturday.
Global Community Alliance is one of 300 organizations in Ottawa—Orléans that relies heavily on volunteers.
Its gala aims to highlight diversity and encourage unity in Ottawa, values that our community holds dear.
Moses Abayomi Pratt did an excellent job organizing the event, which raised money for Black History Month.
Congratulations to Yomi and his wife Kelly Pratt, to Ryan Pascal for his inspiring speech, and to Bertilia Christian, Tarrah Mauricette, Ewart Walters, Adrienne Coddett, Gabriela Bernal Astrain, MPP Yasir Naqvi and my friend June Girvan for the recognition they received.
To all, thank you for making Ottawa—Orléans and our nation’s capital a place where everyone has a chance to succeed.
