Madam Speaker, Etobicoke North has been celebrating Black History Month and the significant contributions that black Canadians have made to our community, and how they have helped shape our history and our country.
Today, I highlight the work of Marcia Brown, the founder of Trust 15, which is a youth organization focused on creating a safe place where young people are welcomed, valued, inspired and supported. We are thankful for Marcia's vision and tireless work, and for championing our amazing young people.
Our outstanding youth should know that they matter, their ideas matter and that we see their smarts, kind hearts and tremendous talents. They should know that there will be challenges as they work to achieve their dreams, there always are. However, they should know that they can achieve anything, and that Marcia and I are here to help them break down barriers and support them in all of their efforts.
To Trust 15, I say, “dare to dream your greatest dream”.
