Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a very important group of employees on the Hill, those who work at Children on the Hill day care.
They have provided care for children 18 months to five years of age since 1981. Their dedication, organization and care for all the children is extraordinary and very much appreciated.
My son Tristan has been going to the Children on the Hill since September 2013. They deserve a special thanks for taking tremendous care of the children during the horrible events that unfolded on October 22, 2014. Their courage, care and commitment to ensuring all were happy and secure at the day care will always be remembered, and we are very grateful for all their efforts.
It is with a heavy heart that my wife and I will be taking Tristan out of the day care as he heads to school.
Thanks to those who work at Children on the Hill for all they do and for making our son's first learning years unforgettable. We will miss seeing them all. What they do is the most important work out there.
