Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I speak in the House today in memory of a Glace Bay icon, Kaye McInnis. Kaye passed away on February 1, leaving behind a legacy of strength, passion and resilience.
Kaye worked as a nurse at the Glace Bay General Hospital for over 35 years. As a nurse, Kaye went above and beyond to help her patients. She never, ever put herself first at any time, and helping others brought her great joy throughout her remarkable nursing career and beyond.
I have no doubt that Kaye will be remembered among many of the community of Glace Bay for her benevolent service as a dedicated nurse and community leader and for her countless charitable actions.
On behalf of Cape Breton—Canso constituents and members of the House, I wish to offer my sincere condolences to Kaye's family and her loved ones. She was an inspiration to all and will be deeply missed.
