Mr. Speaker, this is national coaches week.
I would like to ask my honourable colleagues this week to thank their coaches for all they do for our kids and our communities. As a mother of three children who all have marvellous coaches, I have seen first-hand how important they are in shaping our youth.
Coaches work hard to help make Canada a healthy place to live.
Whether we are playing for fun or competing at the Olympics, our coaches are always there to support, inspire and guide us, not only in sport but in life as well. We know that most coaches are volunteers who contribute their time to help our youth from across the country to learn.
This week, it is our turn to encourage coaches. Let's all express our heartfelt thanks for everything they do.
For all of those reasons, we encourage all members to celebrate coaches using #ThanksCoach.
