Madam Speaker, I stand here today to say “thank you”.

I want to thank everyone who volunteers.

Thanks to all of the workers who have made such a difference in our communities. They worked hard to make the recent winter festivals and the Family Day weekend so memorable.

We celebrated Chinese New Year at the Beaverbrook library. We celebrated winter fun with the community associations of Katimavik-Hazeldean, Kanata Lakes, Arcadia, Fitzroy Harbour and Dunrobin. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 638 Kanata hosted an afternoon of family games. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 616 West Carleton hosted the Old Sled Run, which had over 100 vintage snowmobiles hit the trails.

None of these events could have happened without the amazing group of community volunteers who work so hard to make winter a little more enjoyable for all.

We thank all of the volunteers who make a difference. They rock.
